Middleton's "Alphabet in Process" Engraving

One print in a simple stiff paper gray folder, 10" by 6.25," folded in thirds, with a window in the third section, folded under the first third. In the window is the print, a study of roman capitals Middleton "later used used" for "hand engraved boxwood bookplates." The block had been engraved in 1953, and though some proofs were made, no edition was printed prior to this one for a Caxton Club keepsake. (Taken from the colophon, on the back, the verso of the middle section of the folder.) The print is initialed in pencil in large fine capitals, centered under the print. in smaller pencil are the date "1985" immediately under the print block on the right and "56/275" in the same size and position on the left. The folder was printed at the Turtle Press of Chicago printer Bruce Beck.
