The Colophon- New Graphic Series- Number Three

I just listed another copy of "The Colophon", which like this one, also still has the original, limited edition art work included among the articles. In this case, it is a wood engraving by Thomas Nason. Some further explanation thanks to Wikipedia, as noted in the other listing: "The Colophon" , subtitled A Book Collectors Quarterly, was a limited edition quarterly periodical begun in late in 1929, and was the brainchild of Elmer Adler, founder of Pynson Printers of New York City.

These articles would be bound together in boards by Pynson Printers and marketed to 2000 subscribers. Some articles comment on a current or historical issue related to printing, publishing or art. Other articles were themselves intended to be an example of printing or a work of art.Each issue would also include an original piece of graphic art, some signed by the artist, many produced by using etching, lithography, or engraving. " This particular issue of The Colophon is from the New Graphic Series- Volume One- Number Three, and includes, inter alia, the "original piece of art", in this case, a wood engraving by Thomas Nason, in full-page, blank on the reverse, in optimum condition.
