Philadelphia: The Falcon Press, December 1957. Limited edition. Wraps. An unnumbered copy of this scarce work, 300 copies are numbered, this one is unnumbered. Consists of 25 b&w and color plates of photo offset lithography, designed by one of the best known Brazilian graphic designers, Aloísio Magalhães.

The prints were made by Eugene Feldman (1921 -1975) an American experimental artist, founder of the Falcon Press and innovator in the use of offset lithography as a fine art form. Feldman describes this work, with its use of Portuguese words, as "experiments [that] are just a beginning, an attempt to explore the full use of this art form". The prints were made using a variety of processes, from a contact print of a palm leaf, to photographs, roller impressions, drawings of film with opaque inks and drawings on aluminum foil.
