FRASCONI AGAINST THE GRAIN: THE WOODCUTS OF ANTONIO FRASCONI
New York/London: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc./Collier Macmillan Publishers 1974. Limited SIGNED/NUMBERED Special Edition, First Printing. Approx. 8.25" x 11.25" VG+ olive green & oatmeal clothbound hardcover in VG brown glassine wrapper with VG hard board slate blue slipcase. Shelfwear to boards has been largely avoided due to protective glassine wrapper, which has sustained multiple top & bottom edge chips but remains intact; and to slipcase, lightly soiled and age-toned but doing its job well. Special Edition limited to 125 numbered copies (fifteen lettered copies were for private presentation), of which this is hand-numbered copy # 34. Artist has SIGNED on this limitation page and added a red chop with his initials. Clean and tight throughout with 216 crisp reproductions of detailed woodcuts, many in two or more colors. This copy lacks the laid-in limited, signed original woodcut print promised in the edition information; one hopes it has enjoyed an admired life framed on a wall outside the confines of this lovely set. [Shelved Case 11 -- Art, Spine is covered rice paper and books is in blue-gray slipcase].
