About this Item
Bound in publisher's original decorated boards. (36) pp. + 11 illustrations from woodcuts or copper-plates. Recently, others have put forth that the illustrations in this book, although long considered to be woodcuts, are in fact relief prints from copperplates taken from the original blocks, which were not strong enough to print from. This copy is in a superb state of preservation, with no foxing and a bright interior. This is further supplemented by personalized and lengthy inscriptions by both Weber and the two publishers who ran The Spiral Press to a New York Bookstore owner who offerd them their first genuine encouragement. This is copy No. 8 of 350 printed, with these embellishments boldly written inside the front cover. Weber gives thanks for the recipients encouragement of starving artists. He has signed the inscription, and has signed the final illustration in the rear. "This little-known book is one of the very few American livres de peintres published as early as the 1920's" (Garvey). VG, chipping to extreme top and bottom of spine. Interior is fresh and clean.
