Fifty-six pages with 12 woodcuts printed from plates and a title woodcut based on Genesis 37-50. Set in Baskerville, printed on handmade paper, Japanese binding. Binding with title woodcut on Hahnemële Bugra-Bëtten paper. Typesetting by Alwin Maisch.

The story of Joseph belongs to the Old Testament's patriarchal stories and concludes them. The 12 woodcuts show images which illuminate an important moment in the Joseph story. At the same time these representations of hands express important aspects of human behavior.

The Verlag der Galerie im Unteren Tor in Bietigheim is well-known for its publication of an annual woodcut calendar. The books published are primarily works by woodcut artists.
