Page 62 part 1


Tom Phillips selects Page 62 from his copy of A Human Document by W.H. Mallock. The page is stuck with Gloy paste onto a sheet of cartridge paper which has been very lightly dampened with a wrung out sponge. This is then stuck onto a board using brown gumstrip tape. This process slightly stretches the paper and prevents it buckling.
