"Brown Paper Bag Haiku"
brown paper bag, monotype letter-press printing, 9 5/8 x 6 15/16 (to be exact) ed. 4 of 6

The first of many broadsheets Gavin produced through the now legendary Steam Press Foundry. Four of these masterpiece examples of great typography disappeared into the street with passers-by. One was sold for £2.95 and the other is right here. Christebys still maintain that this known surviving work is still worth no more than a brown paper bag, but perhaps would be worth more if it were full of sweets.
