Artist's book, artist's proof copy, one of 6 deluxe copies plus 3 artist's proof copies, bound in vellum, from a total issue of 71 (55 regular copies ), all on Mohawk Via Superfine Eggshell 100# text paper, each signed and numbered in gold ink by the author / artist, Dorothy Simpson Krause. Page size: 5 x 7-1/8 inches; 56pp. Bound: sewn in velum wrappers with red suede tie, black paper endpapers, housed in protective box of stiff paper with cloth ties, designed to resemble a well-worn library enclosure for a rare book with "Rare Book Handle with Care" and "Not to Circulate" stamped on front cover, spine with labels - one circular with numbers, rectangular with red border reading 'Rare Book Reference" followed by numbers, title in small typeface, "HERetic / joan of arc" on red bordered label, followed by smaller label with numbers, the images of coffee or tea cup stains imprinted on the inner folds of the case, fine. The left pages are text from "Le Ditie de Jehanne d'Arc" by Christine de Pizan, a French poetess who wrote in 1429 when Joan was at the height of her successful campaign. It celebrates Joan of Arc's life and achievements. On the right facing pages, are various images of Joan of Arc with comments printed in red outlining her brief history. The pages covering her trial for heresy incorporate her own words. These are printed in gold below the red and are taken from the trial document. Printed by Acme Bookbinding on the HP Indigo Press 5500, the fonts used are German Latin (sepia) for the text by Christine de Pizan, Uncial (red) for the history, William Shakespeare for the numerals, and 10th Century Bookhand (gold) for the words of Joan of Arc. The images of Joan of Arc, paired with the at once glorious and tragic words, documenting this young girl's brief history and struggle with the male power structure of the time, tell their tragedy with a 1-2 punch. A strong feminist statement artfully rendered.

Artist's book, one of 26 numbered copies, all on Hahnemuhle paper, each numbered and signed by the artist in pencil on the final page. Page size: 4-7/8 x -5- 9/16 inches closed and 19" long when opened, 6pp. Bound: accordion style with red printed canvas covers, the front cover printed with etching after Gustave Dore with Krause's addition of the hat painted red, and the title, LITTLE RED A CAUTIONARY TALE FOR GIRLS OF ALL AGES, housed in black paper envelope. The text is printed on the 4 front pages at the bottom of the images, "Sometimes, I explain, it's hard to tell the difference between the ones who love you and the ones who will eat you alive." It is also printed the 2 pages on the reverse which contain a more significant portion of text from Ms. Steiber's poem above an image of a doll, in greys and brown, sprawled below the text. The doll, the artist tells the reader / viewer, is one that she had as a child. When turned upside down, the little red riding hood doll is a wolf, in grandmother's clothing, with a music box embedded in her back that played "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf." The text is printed three accordion pieces at a time, front and then back, on a large-format HPZ3100 inkjet printer, then cut apart and assembled. The artist has modified the 1869 Dore etchings by highlighting the caps worn by "Little Red" and the wolf in red. Ms. Krause has created a witty update of this traditional child's fairy tale by pairing Ms. Steiber's 1994 poem with the well-known 1869 Dore images, slyly manipulated to be completely contemporary.
