Like her printing contemporary Jane Bissell Grabhorn (1911-1973), Cunningham had a humorous and eccentric style, and this bibliography showcases her playful color schemes and interest in cartoonish illustrations�Arnold Lobel�s iconic Frog even makes an appearance opposite the colophon. Cunningham was a frequent collaborator of Joseph D�Ambrosio and was instrumental in the establishment of the annual Fine Print Fair in San Francisco Twelvemo. [29] ff.
