Item description from seller

Folio. (14) ff. With a foreword by Gordon Bottomley. Illustrated with ten original color woodcuts by John Guthrie. The images were contrived with a theater production in mind and Guthrie's use of light is seen through variations of colored shades. The Pear Tree Press was not originally intended for "fine printing," but rather to add "printing to painting as another medium of a man who speaks always in terms of art." According to Will Ransom, Guthrie "is a typographer of vision and performance, but more especially an etcher in his own inimitable manner, wherein text and decorative illustration are drawn in harmony upon one plate." (Ransom 30). Unbound, as issued, in printed wrappers. Extremities somewhat rubbed, else nearly fine.
