Sobre este artículo
The Roxburghe Club of San Francisco., 1929. First edition. Folded sheet of handmade paper. Inside is reproduced a drawing by the San Francisco artist Virgil Nahl of John Keats which he has reworked from a photograph of the poet's life mask made by Benjamin Robert Haydon in 1816. According to the explanatory text, Nahl has employed modern ''scientific methods of identification'' as a ''means of restoring the expression of life''. In other words Keats has been drawn with his eyes open, whereas for the life mask he had to keep them closed. Only eighty copies were printed.Slight creasing. Very good indeed.
