Beschreibung

145 Pages. No defects to this beautiful book with flawless interior text pages. The slipcase shows some wear at the top of the spine area. This is a 1953 Heritage Club Edition that is based on the 1500 copy limited edition published by Oficina Bodini at Verdona. This club edition was created by the craftsman at Kellogg & Bulkeley of Hartford who made the plates and printed the hand drawn flowers on a soft grey-green linen binding. Over this pattern the title is stamped in gold leaf against a background of black leaf. The paper was especially made by the International Paper Company. The book is illustrated with four full-page and many smaller black and white wood-cuts by Bruno Bramanti (xylographer). Thus the typographer-printers have joined; with the best xylographer to print the best poem by the best poet. Laid in is the Heritage Club monthly newsletter, The Sandglass, that devotes four pages to explain how all this came about. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 15375
