Description

A REMARKABLE SURVIVAL: A PRISTINE COPY ON VELLUM, IN SHEETS, IN THE ORIGINAL ENVELOPE. 23 pp. A beautiful little fine press book, and the first book in the St. George Series. Forde's inspirational verses, with the stunning art nouveau woodcuts by I. de B. Lockyer (half-title, title, and frontispiece.) : The striking frontispiece depicting St. George serenely slaying the dragon appears here for the first time. One of only 21 numbered copies PRINTED ON VELLUM. This copy is of particularly great interest as it is preserved in unbound sheets enclosed in the original (somewhat worn) publisher's envelope, where we find "I. Fruit of the Spirit. Real vellum Nº 13" neatly inscribed in ink. 8vo. FINE AND BRIGHT, AS NEW WITH NO DEFECTS. Also included is a pristine copy of the regular edition, printed on extremely fine handmade Whatman wove paper and sewn into the original wraps. Uncut, and also in perfect condition.
