About This Item
Brooklyn: Douglass Howell, 1958. Near fine.. [20] leaves, comprised of a title page, eighteen plates, and colophon leaf. Publisher's brown morocco, gilt, in the original slipcase. Negligible wear. Copy one of sixty, signed by the artist. This handsome little book is comprised of a letterpress title page and colophon, as well as eighteen miniature etchings printed in various colors. It is printed on handmade paper by Douglass Howell, a noted paper artisan who worked with such eminent figures as Jasper Johns and Jackson Pollock. The artist, Aubrey Schwartz, was born in New York City in 1928. His work garnered many accolades early on, including a Guggenheim Fellowship in creative printmaking. This is his second published work, after his Predatory Birds, published by Baskin's Gehenna Press in 1957. A fine example of this New York City artist's book. We locate two copies in OCLC, at Georgia State University and the University of Manitoba.
