Vaucanson's Canard - Eric Williams

For wholesale and international orders, please buy through our distributor Asterism:

Enlightenment France’s foremost artificer seeks to reproduce in clockwork the intricate lifeforms he sees around him—in other words, a mechanical duck. It can digest, seemingly; it can defecate, seemingly. Is Vaucanson’s work an affront to God? An homage to Creation? Or is it something that nobody could have ever anticipated?

24 pages, 5.5 x 8.5 inches, with a hand-sewn binding, laser printed on premium “Insulation Pink” paper by French Paper with a semi-transparent vellum inner cover. Edition of 199.
