JUSTIFICATION
The price rises because the work expands.
A higher stair does not ask more for the same object. It adds an original page from the working theory behind the pictures, and a part in assembling the larger story.
01The front is visible.You see one side of the selected theory page before choosing a stair.
02The reverse is withheld.You discover the other side only after the page reaches you.
03The sequence is missing.The book number, neighboring pages, and original order are not supplied.
04Disclosure is yours.Keep the reverse private or let it enter the public record.
THE VISIBLE SIDES
The front is evidence. The back is the mystery.
Each named stair below includes one original, two-sided theory page selected in advance. Click a visible front to examine it. Its reverse is revealed only to its collector.
THE OBJECT
Each theory page is a unique, two-sided original measuring 8.25 inches high by 5.5 inches wide. Pencil and pen on paper. Unframed and intentionally raw. It ships with the main print.
WHY IT ADDS VALUE
The image is one part of the work. The logic behind it is another.
The theory pages are not certificates, reproductions, or bonuses. Each is a one-of-a-kind original and a working part of the same world as the finished drawings. They contain structures, measurements, correspondences, false starts, and the private logic that makes the images legible.
No single collector receives the whole explanation. The larger story can only be reconstructed when owners compare what they hold, identify connections, and decide what to disclose.
That is the justification for the higher stair: not scarcity alone, and not a higher price for the same print, but additional access to the archive and a role in assembling its mythology.
CHOOSE A STAIR
The complete price is published before the choice.
Every stair includes the signed and numbered Stradivarius print. Named stairs add an original theory page. The landing, No. 13, carries Susan No. 1 and releases the upper octave.
