About This Item
Limited Editions Club, 1988. Limited Edition. Large folio, 547 x 458 mm.
The LEC published 820 copies of this book, in three variations. There were Three Poems by Paz, and 27 original lithographs, of different sizes, both single pages and double-paged, with texts. The original Spanish texts of Three Poems are printed in red, with Eliot Weinberger's translations into American English in facing black ink, and hand-typeset at Stamperia Valdonega, with poem 2 printed by Stamperia Valdonega. The other poems were printed by Wild Carrot Letterpress, and Heritage Printers. Paz and Motherwell were both artists and close friends, who collaborated more than once. WHAT IS OFFERED HERE is, perhaps, test pulls of the work, having the three poems, bi-lingually, and 6 of Motherwell's illustrations.
LEC publication no. 545.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
