Description:
The Gehenna Press: Northampton, MA 1963. Limited edition to 300 numbered copies, this is #22. Not to be confused with the subsequent unnumbered trade edition. Colophon illustrated by Press Founder Leonard Baskin. A presentation copy from Baskin, signed and inscribed "for Louis". Though not certain, it seems likely that the recipient is Baskin's close friend Louis Smith. Smith (known as Smitty) ran a framing, glazing and art supply store in Northampton, and between 1955 and 1974, Baskin engraved a series of rooster illustrations for Smith's shop. In 1999, this series was printed under the title "Smitty's Cocks" in a limited signed edition, noting "The friendship between the Smiths and Baskin was legendary and fruitful. These special labels adorned the letterheads, billheads and...backs of pictures framed at Smith Glass & Mirror."Illustrator Barry Moser also credits Smith with introducing him to Baskin, a collaboration that would inspire Moser to found the Pennyroyal Press.31 pp, brown cloth spine… Read More

Bound in black cloth with a bird blind embossed on front cover, title in silver on front and spine. 10 1/4 x 7 inches. Unpaginated. Number 70 of an edition limited to 180 numbered copies. A collection of 22 woodblock prints on a single theme, "illustrated" by poems of various authors. Spaul's images are taken from life in our urban surroundings. For, like the fox, there are few birds which are not urban. The creators of the book wished to accompany Spaul's images with poetry written by authors who tried to write about birds as birds, rather than just using them as vehicles to carry human characteristics. Fine.

Prints (sold individually) of Burne-Jones's illustrations which were originally designed to accompany The Story of Cupid and Psyche in a Kelmscott version of Morris's The Earthly Paradise.

The blocks were "rediscovered" in the 1960s, and in 1974, the Rampant Lions Press published an edition of the work using them. These engravings were printed from those original wood blocks. The book and prints were in a limited edition of 100. A separate cloth box housed 44 loose prints. Paper size: 13 x 9 inches. Image size: 4.25 x 3.25 inches. PRE/100716.
