An edition of popup cards

Earlier this year, I made an edition of fifteen cards for a card exchange. Inspired by a line from Arthur Miller's play, Death of a Salesman, I made these popup cards featuring a nighttime cityscape.

The front of the card has the text, "Gotta break your neck to see a star in this yard," as spoken by the main character, Willy Loman. I used antique brass type to print it, black on black.

Inside, the cityscape is made from an original lino carving, hand printed onto some of my original marbled papers. The city and the background sky are then partially obscured by the foreground tangle of trees and weeds.
