Blue paper covered boards with white vellum spine. 24 pp., 6 bw reproductions (one for each sonnet). An exceedinly small run (75 copies) of this early writing by Frederic Fairchild Sherman. This very well could have been crafted by the author as a give-away for close friends, stating that it was published in New York "Christmastide" 1937 on the title-page. Reproductions of works by Botticelli, Caravaggio, Albert Pinkham Ryder (3) and Robert Loftin Newman. The Newman and at least two of the three Ryder paintings were from the author's own collection, as evidenced by their inclusion in the 1941 Memorial Exhibition of his collection.
