San Francisco: The Book Club of California [designed and typeset by Patrick Reagh], 2005. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. One of 450 copies, folio size, 135 pp., with Errata sheet, prospectus, and related ephemera. The Federal Art Project, instigated by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as part of the New Deal, was created to employ thousands of artists across the country; this publication from the Book Club of California encompases printmakers working in California, and features a diversity of style and methods. Elizabeth Seaton writes in detail about each artist, as well as the historical context in which the works were made.
This volume was printed at the shop of Patrick Reagh (b. 1948), son of Los Angeles photographer William Reagh, who has printed numerous fine press editions under his own imprint.
