- Summary:
- Tunnel book inspired by the feel of Venice, a city built on water, full of narrow canals and tight spaces. The light play on buildings and water is evoked by using etchings, one for the background, and one cut to make two other layers. Linoleum prints, based on the pattern of an iron window grill, make the foreground and sides.

- Title from container spine.

- The tunnel book is housed in a paste paper covered box (32 x 21 x 5 cm.) with a magnetic closure and a paper title strip on spine.
