Description
Printed on handmade paper in an edition of 150 copies, the Janus Press of The Circus of Dr. Lao is a masterful juxtaposition of text and image. Claire Van Vliet (b. 1933), proprietor of the Janus Press since 1955, illustrated the book with a combination of relief etchings and pochoir using black, sienna and ochre inks to render the dazzling and often disturbing images.
