Sobre este artículo
[Milford, NY]: ABCedary Letterpress, 1989.. Folio (38 x 28.5 cm). Full limp bleached vellum, with diecut window exposing a pictorial vignette. Illustrated. Fine, accompanied by a separate suite in cloth folder, the whole enclosed in publisher's folding clamshell box (bookplate shadow on box pastedown, small label mark in corner of upper panel, tiny mark on spine label). Prospectus laid in. First edition. Foreword by Brian Davies. Illustrated with eleven etchings and four wood engravings by Alan James Robinson. From a total edition of 79 copies, this is one of twenty-six lettered copies bound thus, accompanied by a separate suite of the etchings and engravings, each lettered and signed by the artist, as well as an original ink and watercolor drawing, executed on a sheet of fine vellum, and signed by the artist. A magnificent undertaking, partaking of the manner and spirit of Robinson's Cheloniidae Press, printing Carol's narrative of the birthing of Harp Seal pups on the Magdalen Islands in company with Robinson's depictions of same. The text was set in Centaur and Arrighi types, and with the wood engravings, printed by Harold McGrath on T.H. Saunders paper. The etchings were editioned by Sara Krohn on BFK Rives, with blue Japanese Moriki paper as guards, with printed captions. The binding was executed by Claudia Cohen.
