In addition to Kaplan's signature and edition number it is additionally inscribed to artist Gerson Leiber: "For Gers from Stan," with an autograph note signed, laid in: "1/19/88 Hi Gers, What a wonderful surprise to get your beautiful 'Declarations". And to give me #49 of 50 is an honor. Thank you -- now that you have the bug -- hope you do more. Enclosed is my 4th book (off-set) -- One of a kind and limited-edition hand printed I will get to one day. Hope to see you soon. Stay well -- Stan." A striking book with an interesting association.
