Summary:

"Miniature livre d'artiste in the manner of Paris art dealer/publisher Ambroise Vollard. An enchanting work consisting of twelve poems by Robert Frost ... each interpreted by an original etching created expessly for the work by award-winning New England artist, Margaret Philbrick. The etchings are spontaneous drawings from nature, some made directly on the copper plate, reminiscent of the fine needle sketches of pastoral scenes by Rembrandt van Rijn. Artist Philbrick printed each etching on dampened paper in her own studio workshop and has signed each individual print in pencil, as well as the colophon page. The group of 16 folded folios is enclosed in a self-wrapper and boxed in a handmade clamshell portfolio covered with fine-thread imported natural linen, with a gold-stamped leather title label."
