Diptera : Yellow Fever Mosquitos

<<  >>

Baskin compiled extensive notes and early proofs for most of his Gehenna Press publications. Diptera was no exception. Here, he created a calligraphic cover for the first part of the work book and compiled a number of preliminary proofs in various colors for an image ultimately printed in black on white paper.
