About This Item
Touchstone Publishers, 1967. Hardcover. Near Fine. Elephant folio solander box, blue cloth, title in gilt. Here's the collation of the item we have. First is what appears to be the title page to one of the last sets, stating '15 poems by John Ciardi/15 etchings by Gabor Peterdi'. That is followed by the wrap-around for the etchings, and then the title page for a set numbered XLII. It says, in full, 'Portfolios I-XVI containing a suite of 16 signed and numbered original etchings in color printed on Arches, and one suite of 16 signed and numbered original etchings in color printed on Auvergne, plus one of the original copper plates. Portfolios XVII-L containing one suite of 16 signed and numbered original etchings in color printed on Arches, and one suite of 16 signed and numbered original etchings in color printed on Auvregne. Portfolios 1-100 containing one suite of 15 signed and numbered original etchings in color, printed on Arches. Portfolio design by Gabor Peterdi, printed by Leblanc and Fequet et Baudier - Paris. Touchstone Publishers Ltd 1967. XLII' But that is followed by only 15 etchings, all of which are signed and numbered XLII. And finally the 16 etchings on Auvergne, all signed and numbered XLII. The etchings are all As New, with undamaged tissue guards. The box shows tiny bits of rubbing at a couple of corners, and a small chip to the gilt on the cover. And there is a blotch of some sort, about the size of a nickel, on the lower right edge of the cover. Photos available on request. If to be shipped outside the U.S., please request a shipping quote before ordering.
