{Extinction preface} "As if God had made the innocency of so 
poor a creature to become such an admirale instrument for 
the sustention of man." -- Capitaine Richard Whitbourne

These two image sources, bandaging and extinct birds, were 
headed in very different directions but at the last moment 
merged into the present project. It's still very satisfying 
wrapping, placing and pasting (rubber cement) these 
extinct-bird cut-outs around/in the stout sewn 
signatures/pages of the old bandaging manuals which more 
than double in size/depth. The two intersectional book-fonts 
are similar and sympathetic. I hope to be able to find more 
copies of these books and continue the work: like I need 
another project. Uncommonly simple, elegant and direct. A 
silent plea but a vengeful prayer.
