About this work

This is a simple beige booklet tied with a red string. The cover has bold red text that reads "25 PRINTS OF LEOPOLDO MENDEZ." The paper looks rough, like sandpaper, and there’s a small handwritten label in the top-left corner. The red string suggests this was meant to be handled carefully. The text is stamped, not printed, giving it a handmade feel. Look up woodcut next to see how these prints were made.
