Wrappers lightly toned portfolio worn and splitting slipcase considerably worn and stained and lacking spine panel plates themselves are very good throughout with only a hint of age-toning to the outer margins.<br /> <br /> § Copy V signed by Von Ripper and Muriel Rukeyser one of three Rives paper with a suite of etchings on Velin de Normandie from a total edition of 67 copies. This copy belonged to Muriel Rukeyser who has extracted some of the suite of prints they now number 22 and added seven proof sheets some showing and annotating alternate inking options as well as a small collection of related press clippings gathered for her by Monica McCall her literary representative and sometime lover.<br /> <br /> An important collaboration between Rukeyser and the Austrian-born surrealist etcher Rudolph von Ripper 1905-1960 on the eve of America's entry into the Second World War. Rukeyser's poem looks to the legacy of John Brown the militant abolitionist of the 1850s and celebrates the possibility of spiritual renewal through resistance to injustice. It first appeared in the June 1940 edition of Poetry Magazine. Here the poem is fully engraved and illustrated with original etchings by von Ripper and interleaved with the etched verses of the old Civil War marching song. By the time Von Ripper was engaged on this project he was only 35 but had already fought for the French Foreign Legion been imprisoned and tortured by the Gestapo and been wounded while fighting on the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War. His direct physical experience of the rise of fascism is evident in his visceral Goya-like etchings. The series was exhibited in the Bignou Gallery in New York in 1941. A contemporary review described it is "an unusal undertaking brilliantly executed the drawings forming not so much illustrations or decorations as actual parts of the poem. Realism symbolism powerful design and dramatic presentment mark these plates which form a distinguished piece of bookmaking. unknown

19549407Lexington KY: Gravesend Press 1954. Vellum Binding. Near Fine binding. 18mo. 10 48 4 pp. illus. Limited edition number 9 of 200 copies. As issued in vellum-backed patterned-paper over boards. Lacking the slipcase. A handsome copy with only light toning to the perimeters of the boards; contents clean. This copy with 4-page prospectus. <br /> <br /> This work was the first book issued by the Gravesend Press that was actually printed using the Graves' press in their stable by Graves and Jacob Hammer. Kredel's charming engraved pressmark of a sleeping pressman graces the final page. Graves writes about this in his Bibliographical Confession the donkey in the window was their family pet Patience. Graves operated the press as a sideline from about 1949 through to the end of his life in 1960 issuing scarcely more than half a dozen books. While less known that some of his contemporaries he took his place amidst a vibrant mid-century printing and illustrating scene—friends with Victor Hammer Carolyn Reading Fritz Kredel John DePol John Fass and others. H. Richard Archer in a history of the Graves and his press published in The Kentucky Review Spring 1987 summarizes Graves's work thus: "All of the books whether pamphlets or bound books reflect the taste and high standards of a true amateur craftsman and as such they certainly qualify as choice examples from one of this generation's most distinguished private presses." Press historian Roderick Cave notes that this was "probably the most successful Gravesend book" p. 263.
