[Charles Agvent]

(LAWRENCE, Jacob) BIBLE. THE FIRST BOOK OF MOSES, CALLED GENESIS. THE 
KING JAMES VERSION. New York: Limited Editions Club, 1989. Large folio 
bound in full midnight blue Japanese cotton. Copy #160 of only 400 
numbered copies, SIGNED on the colophon by Jacob Lawrence who has 
contributed 8 ORIGINAL SILKSCREENS to this massive (16" x 22") and truly 
magnificent work, one of the high points of the press. These silkscreens 
are identical, except for not being individually signed, to the very few 
portfolios of 8 prints currently selling for upwards of fifty thousand 
dollars. According to the publisher, anywhere from 17 to 21 screens were 
required to bring out the coloring of each illustration, making a total 
of 144 separate stencils, all of which were destroyed after the strictly 
limited number of some 400 original sets of prints had been achieved on 
the fine Whatman paper specified by the Osiris Printing Studio in New 
York. The text was printed on a heavy handmade paper from Cartiere 
Enrico Magnani of Pescia, Italy. Monthly Letter laid in. A gorgeous 
book. Fine in a Fine suede-lined linen clamshell box with leather label. 
(#020738)     $10,000
