The credits read as follows:
'Richard Long's "sculpture for Martin and Mia Visser" was conceived for the purpose of photographic reproduction. Richard Long made a system of trenches, which was created according to special camera views. Seen from the camera views relations become evident between marks in the landscape such as stone-walls, water-falls, lanes and Long's trenches.
The collectors Martin and Mia Visser acquired Richard Long's work as a photographic reproduction for publication in an edition of 500 issues.
According to Richard Long's idea the photographs in hand do not have the function of a documentation:
It is the 'sculpture made for Martin and Mia Visser".'

Over a period of almost 45 years, the pioneering land artist Richard Long (born 1945) has created prints with almost every technique possible, from monotype, engraving and lithography to silk-screen and offset printing. This is the first catalogue raisonné of Long’s prints.
