A modestly bound quarto in blue paper-covered boards with a white paper printed title on the front wrapper. With two half-moon dings to the top edges of the front wrapper. Sun fading along the spine edges and along the top edges of the front panel. Some vertical puckering along 2" of the front and rear paste-downs where the glue has dried unevenly. Two faint vertical creases to the front endpaper. Deckle-edge paper. Completed under the Apiary Press imprint, the name given to works produced by Leonard Baskin's students when he taught at Smith College, this work contains 18 wood engravings, a few colored, illustrating the various poems by Emily Dickinson plus the 2 small engravings on the title and limitation pages. A delightful production from the Apiary Press. The colophon page at the end of the book with the reddish engraving of a beehive reads: "One hundred copies of this, the second book issued from the Apiary Press, have been printed on Amalfi hand-made paper on the Washington hand press at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. The wood engravings have been printed from the blocks which were engraved by Judith Gustafson, Margaretta Kuhlthau, Gillian Lewis & Mary Alice Taylor. This is copy number 97. Signed Sis Kuhlthau." Signed/limited edition: One hundred copies issued from the Apiary Press. This is #97. N� de r�f. du vendeur 1241
