Description
Between 2017 and 2022, Laura Zurowski documented and wrote about the 739 unique public steps found in Bob Regan’s Pittsburgh Steps: The Story of the City’s Public Stairways. In addition to publishing the photos and stories on social media and the Mis.Steps blog, she also collaborated with Jimmy Riordan to produce risograph printed “trading cards” packs. These bi-annual publications were printed in limited runs of 250, and many of the early issues are long out of print.
The “Mystery Pack” is a selection of 15 cards spanning all 10 issues. These cards are sold without a corresponding folder and will be carefully wrapped in paper. If you’re curious about what flights might be included in your mystery pack, all 739+ cards are displayed in the online shop. Some cards are out of print, but the vast majority are still available. It’s important to know that each print may have some slight variations in color and color alignment. These are not mistakes or defects but rather how the Risograph printer interprets the images. Keep in mind the machines used to print these cards were manufactured in the mid-1980s, and the look is very different from what we’re accustomed to today.
