About This Item
Sweden, ME: Ives Street Press, 1991. Cash, Barbara. 16mo. (19)pp. One of 100 copies. Signed the printer and artist, Barbara Cash, at the colophon, and this copy with a signed holiday note from her laid in. Very first leaf sports a delicate array of pressed flowers, set within a double-rule border printed in pink. Bacon's essay, set in Monotype Walbaum, famously outlays his ideal garden design, inclusive of hedges, paths, and fountains, and wishy-washy on aviaries and statuary. Bound in turquoise wrappers with exposed bands of the same paper. Fine, housed in purple clamshell box. Prospectus laid in.
