* Iso Series,
when a perfed print has been "dipped" there remains on the
paper a chemical residue that appears as a brownish stain after the paper
has aged and
been exposed to daylight. We use the term Iso Series to distinguish
between these chemically stained examples from McCloud's collection and
the items that have never
been "dipped". The Iso Series prints feature this staining
and the effect it has had on the inks and pulp of the paper in high,
photographic detail - stunning. |
