TUTTLE, RICHARD. Octavo for Annemarie. Small string-tied hand made booklet (4 x 3 1/2 inches; 100 x 80 mm), on cotton and abaca cotton paper, letterpress text cut as strips and embedded in the paper and with hand painting in colors on each of the 8 rectos; housed in the original maple box titled in black on the hinged lid. Number 2 of 4 artist's proofs signed in full by Tuttle and designated as such on the inner lid of the box in pencil; there were another 5 produced that were also signed and numbered, and one hors de commerce example. Auction surveys locate one other copy (also an AP) as having come to auction (Christie's NY, 21 July 2011), that was sold with a duplicate booklet (likely an extra); i.e., the present conforms to another example found in commerce and constitutes a complete copy. Zurich: Annemarie Verna, 1990
