The Draft as a Work in Its Own Right

A question the exhibition asks outright: is a draft entitled to a reader.

Pencil and Ink Mean Different Stages

A small thing noticed on a second look: the colour of a correction is its date.

Why the Corrections Are Not Transcribed on the Labels

The museum deliberately does not print a legible version beside the handwritten one.

The Sheet Where One Line Was Rewritten Four Times

The same line in four versions, and none of them reached print.

Typescript with Corrections: An Exhibition About What Was Struck Out

Twenty sheets on which the corrections take up more room than the typing.
