In-text plate (folio 12) from A Pythagorean Notebook

Alfred Jensen · 1965

You're looking at In-text plate (folio 12) from A Pythagorean Notebook — an illustrated book by Jensen, nineteen sixty-five. A lithograph, drawn in grease on stone: the stone is wetted so the ink takes only where the drawing is. Nothing is cut away. You can pick out the grid pattern.
