19539703New York: Hammer Creek Press 1953. Unbound. Very Good binding. Portfolio. 6.5" x 4.25." 4 folded leaves. Limited edition number of copies unknown. As issued 4 bifolium leaves laid into portfolio with printed paper label on the cover. Light rubbing to the portfolio including some separation starting at the spine; leaves are fine. <br /> <br /> Comprises as title page with printing on the recto of the first page only; and three engraving on three bifolium with title of engravings in red on the recto of the first leaf and the engraving occupying the recto of the second leaf. Engravings are of "The Hell-Box Press" "The Hammer Creek Press" and "Along the Hammer Creek." An additional pressmark by DePol on the title page. As is frequently the case with Fass's small print runs frequently there are difference with an edition; in this instance the portfolio differs from others we've seen and what Cohen describes this with a printed label using DePol's pressmark we have seen others that are stamped in gold using a turtle pressmark designed for the Press by Burton Carnes. Additionally the title leaf is set in upper and lower case italics and is within a border and without a date we have see it set in all capitals without border and is dated 1952—though Cohen suggest the date is actually 1953. This is a very good example of the experimental nature of Fass's work at the Hammer Creek Press. A wonderful issue from the Press. Cohen 24; DePol Catalogue Raisonne p. 41. Hammer Creek Press 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.
