Description:

18 silk-screen broadsides, some slight variation in size, overall approximately 36x28.5 cm (14½x11½") loose in original folding stiff black paper portfolio, as issued. From a limitation of 200 copies (but probably fewer actually produced). First Edition.

Silk screen printings of manuscript poems and drawings by Patchen, reproduced from his manuscripts and printed on handmade Japanese papers. Most have with an ink-stamp or small label affixed to the reverse reading: "From the original MS page by Kenneth Patchen. This and 199 other copies in silk screen reproduction were hand-run by Frank Bacher during the summer of 1955," a few are ink-stamped on the reverse with one or more of the following stamps: "Handwritings for the Wall by Kenneth Patchen," "This paper hand-colored by Kenneth Patchen," or "By Kenneth Patchen." The first portfolio produced by Patchen and Bacher. Very rare.

Fine.
