N.B. The gravures are from a series of six works selected by Aaron Siskind from his book "Road Trip: Photographs 1980-1988" (San Francisco: The Friends of Photography, 1989). The plates were made by Paul Taylor of Renaissance Press and printed by Clary Healy. All the sets in the edition of 50 were printed. In collaboration with Taylor, Siskind chose the paper and approved the plates, but died before the works could be signed. The gravures were stamped posthumously by the artist's estate.
