Some very light scattered foxing, else a wonderful, near fine copy. Kessler founded the Cranach Press in 1913. Influenced by the English private presses, Kessler achieved distinction in his books by employing experienced artists and craftsmen. Under the supervision of Emery Walker, Edwin Prince cut the punches for the roman type after Nicolas Jenson's 1470 Venetian type, Edward Johnston developed the italics and Eric Gill cut the initials. Maillol and his nephew developed a special handmade paper in a workshop at Montaval, France. A classical spirit pervades the Eclogae, with the harmonious composition of the type playing counterpoint to the slightly archaic grace of the figures. The Artist & the Book 172. HBS 69423. $5,500.
