Book Description
Pennyroyal Press, 1997. . Oblong portfolio 9 x 6. Title, intro., plus 16 engravings, one per leaf, each signed by Barry Moser. Unbound as issued in cloth portfolio with title label. Fine. With proofs of three of the engravings on Japanese paper, also signed. One of 20 copies, signed by Barry Moser and the printer Vance Studley. The first, and only printing of these engravings from the original Resingrave blocks (Moser's first use of this material). Moser engraved twenty blocks for Ever Heard of an Aardwolf, a childrens' book written by Moser's daughter Cara. The text illustrations (not printed from the blocks) were all colored, against Barry Moser's wishes. Seven of the 20 blocks were destroyed in the process of publishing the book. The remaining 13 appear here for the first time in their "natural state."
