New; pristine. Pre-printed subscriber's address on rear cover (all examples of this publication were thus mailed). See scans and description. Philadelphia: Chemical Heritage Foundation, 2017. The Winter, 2017 issue of the new incarnation of the artfully executed Distillations magazine (subhead: Science-Culture-History), Volume Two, Number Four. Quite scarce already. Rhinoceros cover. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 48 pp. New, and flawless. Preprinted subscriber address on rear cover (all examples of Distillations are subscriber-mailed). See scans. Original collectible tipped-in postcard, bearing the reproduced image of Albrecht Dürer's famous Rhinoceros piece, from Edward Topsell's "The History of Four-Footed Beasts and Serpents" (1658), remains pristine within as well (see scan of that). Early-on issue of what one hopes will be a long-lived publication, for its taste, interest, art, focus (nicely eclectic, well within the publisher's realm but with tangential variety) and production values.
