[Rarebooks] FA 1931_Rockwell KENT / Pressmark / ASHLAR PRESS_New Year Card / August Hecksher

[Levant Books]

Just listed this scarce item on eBay:


When August Hecksher was in prep school, he and his brother started a private printing press, the Ashlar Press, in 1931. Rockwell Kent made a pressmark for him showing an ashlar stone being hoisted into place and that pressmark was used on this scarce New Year greeting card for 1931 - the year the press was founded.
