number 103 of 300 copies signed by saar. Printed on Langdell paper at the Drexel Press, these complex collage images created in fabric and faded old photographs were transferred under Saar's direction to silkscreened color and sepia-toned prints on hand-torn heavy Rosaspina paper (imbued with cinnamon bark), a paper specially selected by the artist.

In the artist's Afterword, Saar says "Hurston was a 'Southerner with the map of Dixie on her tongue' . . . The Stories I selected span three decades and show Hurston's diversity in writing style." A handsome production.
