"Mother and Daughter"...






"Mother and Daughter"
Peter Schmidt, 1974
A book, in an edition of 20
Printed and published at Watford School of Art

I recently spent some time with Valentine's copy, 1/20.  This book depicts the metamorphosis of an image of Erika, Peter's mother, into an image of Valentine, his daughter, who was about 12 years old at the time.

In the days and weeks ahead, I will be posting images from Mother and Daughter...
