(Baskin, Leonard) A Letter from William Blake

Regular price $425

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Northampton (MA): Gehenna Press, 1964.  Limited edition 500 copies.

This copy unnumbered but is the artist's copy, so marked in pencil by Baskin, inscribed by Baskin for Paul (Bitter), Baskin's nephew (son of Baskin's then wife Esther's sister, Fannie). 

16 unnumbered pages.  With 6 wood-engravings, 4 printed on Japan tissue, all being versions of Blake's face. Baskin has additionally signed 5 of the engravings, including all the ones on Japan tissue.

Original marbled wrappers, printed label on upper cover. Light edgewear as is common to this title, Bitter's name label, which establishes provenance but is otherwise less than attractive, on front flap.  A very good copy.
