Description

[ca. 1943]. Original handmade prospectus. Nine mounted original photographs. [ii] + 53 original typewritten pages, 27.8 x 21.7 cm, mounted on folio sheets of construction paper, 39.5 x 29.8 cm. All saddle-stitched in blue paper folder with label designed by Josef Albers mounted on front cover (label is target design in white on dark blue with "Black Mountain College Black Mountain, N.C." around outer ring). The prospectus is contained in a pair of worn thick green boards bound with two ribbons. "Black Mountain" written in pencil on the front cover. An extensive document about the college, apparently prepared to raise funds. The photographs show the environs of the college, activities, faculty, and so forth. The text deals with the college's ideals, purposes, activities, and budget. Several of the mounted texts are 2-6 leaves stapled together and mounted as a single numbered page on the large sheets. Rare documentation of the workings and philosophy of the experimental educational institution.
