Illustrated with 16 original colored woodcuts by Leonard Baskin. Limited to 50 copies, of which this is one of 40 copies bound thus and signed by Baskin and Hecht on the colophon. Prospectus loosely inserted. A fine copy in fine clamshell box. A set of 15 poems by Anthony Hecht written to accompany Leonard Baskin's color woodcuts of a miscellany of flowers. Each of the colored woodcuts is signed and numbered by the artist. "Hecht's poems explicate, expand, and make plain the inner lives of these flowers, and his original, inciteful, and powerful verse probe into the complicated nature of their structures and denote the intricate character of their inter-connective levels." (Prospectus). The original prints by Baskin merge an exactness of their natural-history past with the creative vision and expert printing of the artist. Printed on paper hand-made in Italy. Woodcuts and letterpress printed by Arthur Larson. All prints are numbered and signed by Baskin, and the colophon is signed by both the poet and artist. A beautiful work. bound by Claudia Cohen in half leather, spine with floral gold-stamped motif on pastepaper, laid in decorative pastepaper clamshell box. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 60885
