[Distaff Side. Jumbo Press. Off-print] THE FABLES OF ESOPE

San Francisco: Jane Grabhorn's Typographic Laboratory [Jumbo Press], 1950. Unbound. Near Fine binding. Item #7545

Quarto. [8] pp. illus. Limited edition. A quarto gathering trimmed at the top, but unbound. 8 page with four woodcuts from the Latin edition printed in Antwerp (1486). This off-print was Grabhorn's contribution to the Distaff Side's A Children's Sampler, Selections form Famous Children's Books, Printed with Car & Solicitude by the Ladies of the Distaff Side (1950) which was limited to 375 copies and was produced in potluck fashion (each section is printed independently by the contributors, size and topic being the only commonalities) "for the benefit of cardiac and other needful children." The volume itself is not altogether common, but off-prints like this are extremely scarce, particularly by one of the most accomplished printers of her time. Bender Catalogue, 5c.
