The volume contains 23 hand-pulled photogravures of California scenery done in the pictorial style on Japanese Gampi tissue individually titled and signed in graphite by the artist. The plates are each mounted on double sheets of hand-made paper which in turn have been corner-glued and centered on seven, oversized and folded olive-colored cardstock leaves (including cover) collected and bound by a cord.
