[Rarebooks] FS: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight -1974 Privately Published Illustrated

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

“Sir Gawain and the Green Knight”

By Sandra E. Vlock.
Published by the author, no date, but 1974.

A privately-printed set of hand-drawn illustrations of the tale of Sir 
Gawain and the Green Knight, with an annotated synopsis and explanation 
of the story. The author appears to have been a Connecticut-born 
architect and designer who at the time was in her first year as an Art 
History & English Literature major at Cornel University. The 
illustrations are imaginative and charming and unmistakably of the 1970s 
period. Though printed, and therefor not unique, certainly an extremely 
uncommon version of this classic tale for the completist, or the lover 
of 1970s illustration.

Comb bound. 8.5"x11", 1 black & white plate plus 8 pages of text plus 33 
single-sided black & white plates. Covers and first plate with some 
soil, light wear. Signed and dated "1974" on the cover, and inscribed 
"Sandy" inside the front cover.  $75
