About This Item

[New York]: [Limited Editions Club], [1994]. First Edition. Original Art. Fine in a Fine cloth clamshell box. John Biggers. Large folio consisting of 5 ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPHS and the title and colophon pages. For her favorite poem, originally published in I SHALL NOT BE MOVED, Angelou chose the internationally acclaimed African-American printmaker John Biggers to illustrate a book published by the Limited Editions Club in an edition of only 400 numbered copies signed by both the author and the artist. It was one of the largest-format books (17-3/4" x 22") ever issued by the club. This is the separate portfolio of 5 numbered 18" x 24" lithographs, all individually SIGNED by the artist, laid in a large cloth clamshell box with the artist's name lettered in black on the front. This is set #58 of only 60 sets in addition to about a dozen various proof copies.
