[BOURBEAU, DAVID].

Root & Sky: Poetry from the Plays of Christopher Fry.

Boston David R. Godine (1975) Quarto. 124 pp. From an edition of 220 numbered copies printed at theRampant Lions Press and signed by Christopher Frey and illustrator Charles Wadsworth, this is copy number two. Illustrated with twelve collograph intaglios by Wadsworth and bound in 1980 in full brown morocco by David Bourbeau. The cover design carries the theme of the frontispiece -- a tree against the night sky, its roots descending below it -- to the binding, which features a single rootlike cord in relief against a brown background, over which hovers a gold circle. Paste-paper endleaves in hues of blue tinged with gold and silver are evocative of the night sky and complement the cover design. A stunning binding for a handsome, modern book. Housed in a leather-backed cloth folding box, which repeats an element of the cover design. Very fine.
