Rare Handmade Edition ◊ Letterset Press
The making of this rare book was designed as a limited edition in advanced of a trade publication. It has a handmade paper cover, instead of the typical fabric, with an original block print image as the cover art. Published in 1933 by Lon Megargee it remained only as a limited edition and was not printed as trade copy printed due to the Depression of the 1930s.
Very rare handmade art book by Lon Megargee with 28 images and 28 poems written by Roy George, letter set press, very limited printing to approximately 500 copies. This copy is signed and dated, has had restoration and comes in a exquisitely designed case with a photograph of Megargee in the early 1930s and a history by Donald Hagerty, scholar and consultant on the art and culture of the American West. The custom case is available separately for collectors who have the book. Price for case is $550.00, shipping included.
