Letterpress printed in Monotype Plantin by David Wolfe of Portland, Maine. With four aquatint illustrations by African-American artist John Wilson, printed at the Center Street Studio in Milton Massachusetts by Jim Stroud.

Book is protected with a clear archival Grafix Dura Lar dust wrapper. LEC Monthly Letter laid in. ______CONDITION: Book is in fine (as new") condition. Clamshell box is lightly bumped at lower front and rear corners, otherwise fine.______DISCUSSION: This is one of the most successful of the late-LEC editions from Sidney Shiff, a perfect marriage of illustrator and work of literature, hardly surprising since artist John Wilson selected this story as the work he wished to illustrate. Down by the Riverside was one of the highlights in Wright's seminal 1938 collection Uncle Tom's Children. Wilson's dark, brooding, atmospheric drawings capture the tension and underlying sense of dread that permeate this work._____NOTE: This is an extremely large, heavy edition. Domestic shipping with UPS Ground + tracking is $35. International shipping cost using USPS International Priority Mail is $125 to most locations in the United Kingdom and Europe. More distant locations may incur additional cost. The additional funds for international shipping will be requested following purchase.
