Family Portraits documents a recent work by the artist David Fulford. Printed in a limited edition series, the book is an unique archive of the artist's work that is now part of a private collection in Italy.

The design translates the work's original gallery hang into a book format. The grid alignment of the small paintings inspired the sequential arrangement of the images. They are reproduced one per page in full colour, each cropped to their rough and printed 1:1 scale. The thin glossy paper and thread binding make the book easy to flick through and enhances its flip book quality. The front cover text mimics the caption that would have been found on the gallery wall. The specially designed 'match box' style slipcase features embossed type, hand-decorated with foil blocking in over seventy colours corresponding to the colours visible in the paintings.
