The image is a printed document titled "seven convolutions" with a subtitle "original lithographs by Herbert Bayer." The text explains the process and techniques used by Herbert Bayer in creating a series of lithographs called "seven convolutions."

Key points from the document:

1. Definition of Lithographs:

   • Lithographs are prints made from stones on which drawings have been made with greasy crayons. The prints can be in any color, although the stones and ink are black.
   • The process involves using water and ink, where the ink adheres to the greasy drawing and is repelled by the wet stone surface.

2. Two-Color Lithographs:

   • The "seven convolutions" series consists of two-color lithographs.
   • Each lithograph uses two stones: one for the main drawing with lithograph crayons and another for the second color using a brush and tusche (a liquid drawing medium).

3. Technique for High Lights:

   • Bayer wanted the lithographs to resemble drawings on stone.
   • He used a technique where he scraped and polished the stone to create high lights, which would not hold ink, thus appearing white in the print.

4. Historical Context:

   • The document mentions Aloys Senefelder, a German who invented lithography in 1796.
   • It explains the evolution from printing on flat surfaces to using stones with greasy crayons and the chemical process involved.

5. Artist's Statement:

   • The text is signed by Lawrence Gross, the Educational Director of the Aspen Center.

The document is dated October 26, 1968, and includes a handwritten note at the top, which appears to be a personal message or dedication.
