Photos of Mark Bernstein and Erin Sweeney's "The Election of 1912"
The photos of Erin Sweeney and Mark Bernstein's The Election of 1912 found in this chapter are copies Dene Grigar owns and holds in her library in the Electronic Literature Lab. This work is the first published by Eastgate Systems, Inc. and, so, before the company had developed the convention of distributing works in a bookish folio introduced with Michael Joyce's afternoon, a story.
The Election of 1912 Floppy, Front
The Election of 1912 is held on an off-white floppy disk with a white label on the upper half of the floppy, the upper third of which is maroon in color. Printed in the maroon space reads "CIVILIZED SOFTWARE from Eastgate Systems, Inc." "The Election of 1912 Bernstein and Sweeney" is printed on the right-hand side of the label, center-aligned. A drawing of an arch stands beside this label. The bottom-left corner reads "Eastgate Systems, Inc. PO Box 1307, Cambridge MA 02238." The bottom-right corner contains two phone numbers, (800) 562-1638 and (617) 924-9044.
