Cooper Coiffure, aka The Girl with the Cooper Black Hair, is a new print created at the P22 Studios by printer/printing historian Amelia Hugill-Fontanel on the Vandercook Universal III. The blocks are from the Pollack Printing Collection housed at P22, and feature the impressive 840-point Cooper Black wood type! The composition evokes Futurist advertising posters and early experimental modernist poster designs.
