Sauf Conduit

Sauf Conduit tells the little-known story of the document forgers of occupied France during World War II. Young and inexperienced—some only teenagers—these members of the French Resistance worked clandestinely to create dossiers of forged papers that helped save the lives of thousands attempting to flee the country.
This artists’ book is the result of research, travel, and interviews with some of those who knew the forgers personally. It features the voices of two prominent French document forgers, along with the fascinating history of how they adapted existing printing methods—and sometimes invented new ones—to achieve amazing and convincing results. 
This meticulously-crafted book contains multi-color risograph prints, as well as foldouts, insertions, and a removable etched linoleum stamp, and comes packaged in a trompe l’oeil French biscuit box.
