Book Description

[Peace Dale, RI: Fritz Eichenberg, 1976].. [2] preliminary leaves, plus twenty woodcuts, with bifolium interleaves bearing text on upper leaf, and colophon. Folio (44.7 x 38 cm). Loose sheets and bifolia laid into folding cloth clamshell box with printed label. Box a bit sunned and lightly rubbed, otherwise about fine. First edition. Illustrated with twenty original woodcuts, printed from the block, with full margins, by the author. A sequence of loose adaptations of fables from Aesop and others, updated (often wickedly) for contemporary relevance, each accompanied by a corresponding wood engraving. One of one hundred numbered portfolios, printed by Harold McGrath at the Gehenna Press, signed by the author/artist on the colophon, and with each of the wood engravings numbered, titled and signed by Eichenberg in the margin. As this was not a formal publication of the Gehenna Press, it is not included in the bibliography.
