[Rarebooks] FS: RED BADGE OF COURAGE in a Superb Binding

[Charles Agvent]

CRANE, Stephen. THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE. (London): The Land Press, 
(1988). First Edition. Quarto (1-1/2" x 11-1/2") bound by Constance K. 
Wozny in a striking full black morocco leather art binding with onlays 
depicting a poppy weeping seeds of tears, tan morocco pastedowns, and 
marbled endpapers. Illustrated with 11 collotype illustrations from 
contemporary Civil War photographs by Alexander Gardner, Timothy 
O'Sullivan, and others from the Library of Congress collection chosen to 
illustrate the mood of the scenes described in the book. One of the 
illustrations is bound in at the beginning of the text; the other ten 
are loose in a glassine envelope. Copy #94 of 140 printed by Gwasg 
Gregynog, SIGNED by the binder and dated 2011 on the colophon page. The 
Land Press published this edition of Crane's classic in a choice of five 
bindings designed by Denise Lubbett, Angela James, Romilly Saumarez 
Smith, and Jen Lindsay. This appears to have been an unbound copy that 
was privately bound at a later date (2011) by Wozny, a member of the 
Guild of Book Workers and the Hand Bookbinders of California. Housed in 
a custom cloth clamshell box. Fine in a close to Fine clamshell box with 
a minor bump at the bottom corners. (#020741)        $2,500
