About This Item
The editorial matter is set in Ehrhardt types, the contributors' list in Goudy Old Style & the poems in the attractive Hyperion, designed by Berthold Wolpe. Bound in black cloth with a bird blind embossed on front cover, title in silver on front and spine. 10 1/4 x 7 inches. Unpaginated. Number 70 of an edition limited to 180 numbered copies. A collection of 22 woodblock prints on a single theme, "illustrated" by poems of various authors. Spaul's images are taken from life in our urban surroundings. For, like the fox, there are few birds which are not urban. The creators of the book wished to accompany Spaul's images with poetry written by authors who tried to write about birds as birds, rather than just using them as vehicles to carry human characteristics. Fine.
