Clair Obscure painter's books Nr. 2. Letterpress on Zerkall-Bëtten paper, 20 pages with five etchings. Edition of 50.

The second of the Clair-Obscure-Painter's books, which Ullrich Panndorf inaugurated in 1987 with the unpublished poems of Ernest Wichner and which he continued in 1988 under the title KLINGSTEDTS ROMANTISCHE GRËNDE with a text by the Romanian-German poet Werner Söllner.

Out of his love for books and the joy of his exchanges with poets, Panndorf was led to found his own press. It was a challenge for him to go beyond being a mere contributor and to take into his own hands the total design and production.
