About This Item
(Northampton, MA): Gehenna Press, 1958. Lockwood, George. Small quarto. (12)pp. One of 100 copies. Signed by George Lockwood, who contributed the wood-engraved frontispiece. Leyda's poem about Emily Dickinson's Amherst, Massachusetts home is interspersed with the words from the deed, which are printed in red. An uncommon Gehenna title, this copy shows some toning and faint spotting to the extremities of the blue wrappers, few light marginal creases. Overall, a nearly fine copy. (Brook 16).
