About This Item
Northampton, MA: Gehenna Press, 1969. Baskin, Leonard. Folio. (70)pp. From an edition of 200 copies, this is an out-of-series printer's copy inscribed by Leonard Baskin to Arno Werner, who bound the book. One of the major productions of Baskin's Gehenna Press. Illustrated with ten etchings by Baskin, nine of which are signed by him, and one that is inscribed "Werner" in Baskin's hand. Signed plates are not noted in the Brook bibliography. Bound in morocco-backed marbled boards, the suite of etchings is housed in a chemise of marbled boards, and the two laid into a box of morocco-backed marbled boards. Foxing to plates and to the inside of their chemise, folding case shows some light wear to bottom edge, and minor rubbing to box extremities. A fine copy with notable provenance. (Brook 62).
