Notes
The passage from Revelation referencing the New Jerusalem is found at 21:18 and 21:25.
Abstract
This opening sheet of the second Free City set marks both a conceptual and technical leap. The occult seals, the passage from Revelation, and the split-fountain mimeograph printing on the Gestetner inherited from the Communication Company cast the Free City as more than a social experiment: it appears here as a visionary commonwealth, at once mystical and communal. For David Simpson and Freeman House to pull off this effect on that machine must have been a first.

FREE CITY

And the city was pure gold,
like unto clear glass.
And the gates of it shall not be shut
at all by day,
for there shall be no night there.
