A scarce booklet by Polish mail artist Petasz (1951-2019), one of 30 copies produced; this example was mailed to American artist Joyce Cutler Shaw (1932-2018). Petasz self-published No. 1 in this series in 1978. On the final page he has written in “Joyce” and composed a friendly note to Cutler Shaw about his activities, below which there is a hand-drawn map of Poland.


In near fine condition; minor foxing. With the original mailed envelope, and a printed and rubber-stamped postcard laid-in. WorldCat records two copies of this work.
