Binding is lightly soiled with minor shelfwear. A better brighter copy that often found. <br /> <br /> Printed by Jacob Hammer in red and black in Victor Hammer's American Uncial type with title in Civilite. A beautiful edition designed by Victor Hammer and issued by the Lexington collective The Anvil Press. The Press and those associated became the center of the burgeoning private press scene in Lexington in the middle of the 20th century. Certainly Victor Hammer was the most accomplished and established of the group having been practicing the art at the highest levels in Florence and Vienna in the 1920s and 1930s before the War chased him to Aurora New York and eventually Lexington in 1948. But the Anvil Press was much more than just Victor Hammer. This movement began years before Hammer's arrival and continued well beyond his death. Holbrook Paul Evans ed.
