31 individual Moiré filters in wax paper envelopes with instruction manuals in a repurposed Ansco Photographic Paper box. Filters are in various patterns and shapes and are coloured either black, pink, yellow, or teal.Moiré filters were used in developing photographs to create textured blocks of colour in order to enhance printed images, usually in advertisement.
