The sixteen page book is described as a "Mystery in Eight Parts. " Every other page includes a black and white photograph on a black background, containing white hand-written text. In addition there is a red letter printed on each of these photos. After putting all of the letters together in the order in which they appear, they spell "EVIDENCE." This book was donated to St. Michael's College by the Ackerman Collection.
Peel, world-known British artist, uses photography and printmaking in order to produce thought provoking pieces that address political issues and current events, mainly concerning the "War on Terror" and the Iraq War.
