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
19518728Lexington KY: Gravesend Press printed by Philip Reed 1951. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Small octavo. 8 vii 1 16 2 pp. illus. Limited edition one of 500 copies. As issued in paste-paper over boards bound by Elizabeth Kner with printed paper title label on the front cover; partially unopened. 16 in-text engravings from Bewick's blocks printed in brown grace the pages of the charming volume. Light rubbing to the extremities of the binding including a scuffed spot on the front board; interior is fine. <br /> <br /> Designed by Joseph C. Graves this is the second issue with his imprint though Graves's friend Philip Reed executed the presswork at his Chicago print shop. Graves ran the Gravesend 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 Philip Reed Fritz Kredel John DePol John Fass and others. H. Richard Archer in a history of 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.

18108165Philadelphia: Johnson & Warner printed by J. Bouvier 1810. Hard Cover. near Very Good binding. 16mo 32 pp. frontis plates. Early reprint. As issued stitched into stiff paper covers with frontispiece and 5 additional inserted plates. Cover is light rubbed; some separation where the cover hinges at the stitching but the cover remains fairly stable; light foxing throughout. <br /> <br /> This is one of two 1810 imprints of this title the other Shaw & Shoemaker 19993 is self styled the "First American from the Second London Edition" and is sold by Wm. Charles and printed by W. McCullouch in 1810. While both Welch and Shaw & Shoemaker list this present edition by Johnson & Warner first it would stand to reason that the Charles edition is in fact first as this present edition has a title page dating publication at 1810 but the cover title is dated 1811. Nevertheless an early edition of this scarce title by Dorset who was "the younger daughter of Nicholas Turner and the sister of Charlotte Smith also a famous author. She wrote several books for children which were all published anonymously" Rosenbach 438. Shaw & Shoemaker 19992 & 22717. Welch 297.1; Cotsen 1813. Johnson & Warner | printed by J. Bouvier unknown

19569700New York: Hammer Creek Press 1956. Original Wrappers. Near Fine binding. 12mo. 24 4 blank1 pp. illus. Limited edition to approximately 100 copies. As issued in marbled paper wrappers of stiff covers with printed paper title label on the front cover. Quite a nice copy with little in the way of shelf-rubbing to the cover; Reynolds Stone-designed bookplate of noted collector Norman Sondheim inside the front cover. <br /> <br /> Short introduction by Fass about the history and aim of the press. Includes 43 described books announcements and ephemera from the press. As this present work is the 43rd item in Fass's list and only 35th in Cohen's checklist there are apparently inclusions here not noted in Cohen. Several examples of pressmarks by DePol Angelo and Carnes. Two by Valenti Angelo are done in multiple colors with gilding. <br /> <br /> The Hammer Creek Press began when in 1950 when Fass purchased from Valenti Angelo a small Hughes & Kimber cast iron press previously owned by Bruce Rogers who had sold it to Angelo the year before. It was on this press of significant provenance that the bulk of the Hammer Creek Press editions were printed including this present book. Opening this work is an engraving by John DePol of the storied press with a page of "Data" by Fass. One of the mores substantial works issued by the Press as well as one of the more uncommon titles despite the larger-than-usual limitation. As more than 30 institutions are reporting ownership according to OCLC it means this is increasingly rare in commerce. A lovely example of Fass's work. Cohen 35. Hammer Creek Press unknown
