The Artist Edition is limited to 1000 copies with a double-sided dust jacket featuring two wrap-around illustrations by Jason Mowry. It is a full cloth, smyth-sewn binding with a foil stamped cover. Endsheets are illustrated, and it is the only edition of the three with the dust jacket. The edition is printed offset on premium archival Cougar Vellum paper, and is signed by Jason Mowry. It is housed in an embossed paper covered slipcase with an acrylic topcoat.
A NOTE ON THE TYPOGRAPHY
The text of Hannibal was set in Escrow. It’s all-business (like Clarice Starling) and was designed by Cyrus Highsmith for the Wall Street Journal. More austere than other Scotch roman faces, Escrow was also used for our edition of The Silence of the Lambs, thus continuing the series.
Our display face is Avalon, based on the calligraphy of Friedrich Neugebauer, known for the cutting power of his calligraphic invention. As a prisoner of war in Egypt, he wrote with toothpaste when all else failed. The irrepressible style of this Austrian artist inspired designer Richard Lipton to capture his calligraphy as a typeface.
