A comprehensive and expansive archive with over 200 Polaroids apparently made by a signwriter, chronicling the completion or installation of his own work.

Polaroids (210), the images measuring 3 inches (7.6 cm.) square, the sheets slightly larger, sleeved back to front, six to a sleeve. 4to, black leatherette; 3-ring binding. Circa 1980
