About This Item
(NY: Spiral Press, 1969. Frasconi, Antonio. Small folio. (38)ff. One of twenty-five copies signed by Frasconi, who illustrated this work with eighteen full-page colored woodcuts and a smaller colored colophon device. Issued in an unbound format, the illustrations are printed on Hosho paper and tipped-in to the Rives paper folders, opposite which Whitman's poetry has been set by Joseph Blumenthal at the Sprial Press. Laid into a dropback box of half cloth and marbled paper. A vibrant presentation of this very scarce Frasconi portfolio.
