About This Item
New York: Abner Schram, 1972. Vellum-backed boards. Fine in original slipcase.. Two vols., narrow 4tos; book in vellum-backed boards stamped in gilt, t.e.g., together with accompanying paperbound pamphlet. The 1931 Cranach Press edition ranks alongside Kessler's Hamlet and Eclogues as the highest of his achievements as a small-press publisher. The illustrations and decorative initials were by Eric Gill, the type specially cut for Kessler by E. Prince. This is a fine facsimile, printed in East Germany. The accompanying pamphlet contains a postscript in English.
