About the artwork.
Artist and printmaker Jim Lee runs his own press producing limited edition hand-printed letterpress books. Lee’s books explore various themes–including the landscape, nursery rhymes, and moral philosophies, such as this one about the seven deadly sins. Varying book sizes and formats according to content and sometimes utilizing craftspeople who specialize in edition binding, his approach reflects the broad-based aspects of book arts as a whole—where style, materials, and methods of production are widely varied.
