Sunlight Convergence/Solar Burn

Sunlight Convergence/Solar Burn

Charles Ross, 1976

Description

Essentially an art book with little text and many photographs and line illustrations, Sunlight Convergence/Solar Burn represents one year of solar burns and the artistic/scientific implications of the analemma they form when laid end to end. The cooperative publishing arrangement made control of quality in design, pasteup, and production especially difficult. One of the aims of the publication was to provide practical design and production experience for graphic arts students in working on a project that was to be published. Size and small number of signatures made binding more difficult.
