Annotations / title notes

• Notes

  • Title represented on cover with the two words "Lambe lambe" arranged in criss-cross ("x") figure, mirror images of each other, and sharing the medial "m." Title represented on spine with the second word following the first, appearing in mirror image. Title represented on page between texts and the photographs with the first word at the top of the page, and the second word at the bottom of the page, written in mirror image.
  • Photographs compiled and printed by Schmid from discarded negatives he found in two squares and a public park during three visits to Belo Horizonte, Brazil. "Originally these portraits were taken for various administrative purposes, identity cards, driving licenses, and so on ... They [the photographers] were called 'lambe-lambe' [lick-lick] phtographers, presumably because of their habit of licking the negatives before making contact prints."--Second page of text.
