About this Item
"Two hundred and fifty copies of this portfolio have been designed, printed, & bound in Santa Barbara by Graham Mackintosh in October 1977 for the Friends of the UCLA Library." A hand-printed limited edition portfolio, this is number 144 of 250 copies. Housed in a 13 inch by 19 inch warm brown cloth portfolio with paste-on paper cover label. Contains 8 letterpress broadsides, each 12 x 19 inches held in protective pocket. The broadsides are printed in color and black inks on thick deckle-edged papers. Illustrated with wood cuts, wood engravings, and decorative typographical devices. The selections are from the California Cookbooks Collection in the Department of Special Collections, UCLA Library.
