About This Item
New York: The Derrydale Press, 1931. First Edition, one of 535 copies. With 13 drypoint etchings, the first, frontispiece, signed by Clark. ii, 124 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Original black cloth, title and device on upper cover in white and gold, bottom and fore-edges uncut, Very Good copy. Clark, Roland. First Edition, one of 535 copies. With 13 drypoint etchings, the first, frontispiece, signed by Clark. ii, 124 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. A lovely copy of a scarce volume that is less a book than a work of art. Roland Clark's matchless drypoints, printed from the plates on fine watermarked deckle edge paper, are luminous - one doesn't have to be a devotee of wildfowling to appreciate their artistry. If one is a devotee, this book is profoundly satisfying. Frazier acknowledges this: "One of the most beautiful of the Derrydale Press books in every phase". Siegel 58; Frazier C-5-a
