Additional notes:
With typographic assistance from Kathy McMillan and metalwork by Gary Dodge. The text of the book is based on a handwritten letter discovered by the artist in the archive of Weir Farm in Wilton, Connecticut, during a residency in the spring of 1807 by a former Revolutionary War officer, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathon Rhea, to his children on the anniversary of his wife's death. The images that accompany the text are original vintage glass negatives that date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
