The last plate is titled in pencil at the bottom. Overall a fine clean copy all housed in a fold over box. The box has warped over time but does not effect the contents. This is the very rare second book by Margaret Atwood, illustrated by Charles Pachter. Lecker and David A2. The edition was limted to 15 copies, hand signed by both on the colophon. This copy is not numbered but designated an Artist's proof. Atwood's first book, Double Persephone was a small chapbook and came out 3 years earlier. This extremely grand production was the first collaboration between the two and lead to future projects including the Journals of Susanna Moodie. A magnificent production!. Seller Inventory # 144709
