With 83 loose illustrated leaves, including the title page and leaves numbered 1… to 82. On Strathmore Ivory Antique. Each sheet is 14.5 x 11.5 inches.

A few other plates with a few other instances of minor off-setting from the printer, as appears to be the case with most or all 285 copies produced for sale. Absolutely no creases or spotting observed. The sheets protected within a folding portfolio case of terracotta-colored cloth on semi-stiff boards. The front of the case with crisp dark brown titling. Modest bump to lower corner of case spine; else a lovely, clean portfolio. Case by George Baer, Chicago. Altogether a copy in Very Good Plus to Near Fine condition. 3 lbs. 12 oz. The woodcuts should be taken as a translation of Chaucer's tale into visual narrative rather than as illustrations. The woodcuts were originally made for a film and shown with narration on educational television stations. Bronislaw Marion "Bruno" Bak [1922-1981] was born in Poland. He was a concentration camp survivor of WWII. After the war he studied art in Mannheim, and was part of the first generation of art students in Germany after the war. Bronislaw and his wife Hedi brought their lifelong passion for the pursuit of art to their adopted homeland of the USA in 1952. Bronislaw was an art professor at Dominican College in Racine, Wisconsin during the 1960s and later was an associate professor of art at Georgia Southern College. At his death, Bronislaw left a 30 year legacy of architectural commissions, paintings, sculpture and fine prints. Bak, Bronislaw (illustrator).
