About this Item
Sm.4to, (193x155mm), 77p. profusely illustrated with text ornaments and cuts from woodcuts by Joseph Cawhall. An extremely fragile copy, printed on an acidic papers which is lightly browned throughout and frayed at the edges, and the stitching is broken. Original grey wrappers, worn and with a piece lacking from the corners of the front cover. Due to the extreme fragility of the book no restoration work can be undertaken and it is preserved in a custom-made solander box. A splendid, and not exactly common, example of Crawhall's idiosyncratic style of illustration which drew heavily on the imagery and style of the cuts that adorned earlier chapbooks. Why any artist allowed his work to be produced on such rubbish paper defies understanding; it probably seemed a good idea at the time. Seller Inventory # 20331
