"Extra-illustration is the practice of embellishing a text by undoing the binding, adding additional prints, drawings, photographs or articles, and rebinding the new whole; also adding gouache, goldleaf, watercolor, pen or paint illustrations, related or willfully tangential to the text."
After attending an evening lecture by a librarian at the Center for Book Arts in New York, I was inspired to create a small chapbook about the history of extra-illustration--and distribute it to a group of writers, artists, and friends to see how each would visualize the text.
Stay tuned to find out!
