About This Item
Statesboro, GA: The Boxwood Press, ( 1992). First, Limited edition. Hardcover. Fine. Oversized: will require extra shipping and insurance.
Only 16cc.Remarkable bilingual presentation / re-interpretation of this Biblical work placing it in the the Reagan / Bush era. Illustrated with 16 color etchings by Bernard Solomon, the translator and etcher. He realized there were remarkable parallels between the Biblical story of Esther, and that of Anita Hill, Clarence Thomas, and the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. This interpretation unfolds sequentially as each leaf is unrolled from the 33 in. high scroll holder. The body of the scroll holder is one of the original copper plates used for the etchings, which is why it is limited to an edition of only 16 (of which this is 14).. The top and bottom of the handcrafted minaret-style case is finely shaped and polished mahogany, by Anthony V. Mann. Designed with a hidden crank to rewind the scroll into the case. Altogether remarkable!

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
