A Brief Description of the Old Episcopal Burying Ground in Lexington, KY
Lexington, KY: Gravesend Press | printed by Robert Middleton, 1967. Original Wrappers. Near Fine binding. Item #9403
12mo. [4], 5, [3] pp., frontis, illus. Limited edition. As issued, sewn into pastepaper wrappers with printed paper label on the front wrapper.
A beautiful copy with three engravings by DePol including the final tail-piece, "Finis / Gravesend / Press." The book was nearly complete, already set in type, at the time of Graves's unexpected death in 1960. After many years, Joe's wife and partner Lucy Graves decided to complete this edition as the final Gravesend imprint, complete with the prophetic tailpiece. An absolutely charming piece of Lexington history and most certainly a part of the private press movement that was burgeoning. No indication of the size of the edition.
