This elegant suite, incorporating photogravure and other intaglio techniques, is in the muted tones Rauschenberg employed in the early 1960s for his first lithographs. The subject matter is also nostalgic. Each print contains photographic images of the artist's relatives or old friends. These are deployed in the syncopated grid compositions that are characteristic of Rauschenberg's gifts as a collagist.

The work illustrated here, 'topher (2002.114.5), has images of the artist's son, Christopher, as a baby; of his former wife—the artist Susan Weil—when pregnant with Christopher; and of the artist himself as a young man. Eagle Eye shows images of Rome and the artist Cy Twombly, with whom Rauschenberg traveled to Italy in 1952–53. Jap contains an image of Jasper Johns, Rauschenberg's close colleague from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s, and an American flag, a common subject for Johns. Tanya comprises images of Tatyana Grosman, who founded the print atelier Universal Limited Art Editions, and her husband, Maurice. Ileana shows Ileana Sonnabend, one of Rauschenberg's first art dealers, and her second husband. Big and Little Bullys [sic] contains multiple images of the artist's parents. Bubba's Sister shows Rauschenberg's sister Janet at various ages; John, the composer John Cage and his Model A Ford; and Ace, the dancer Steve Paxton.
