This accordion is so deceptively simple and it takes full advantage of the key feature of the accordion in such an effective and beautiful manner. A historical precedent for this work would be the visual poem that Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) first published in the journal SIC, #12, 1916 titled "Il Pleut," that mirrors with sentences the streams of rain as they fall across the page (see at bottom of this entry).
8 pages, single-sided, individual pages 5.25" (h) x 4.25" (w), and when fully opened 34".
