Original Poster.

(Toronto: The Coach House Press, N.d). Original poster reading "Gwendolyn MacEwan [sic] / Photograph by John McCoombe Reynolds 1971".

The photograph is reproduced in the original b&w, and a cream border has been used. Approximately 23" high x 16" wide, and printed on good stock. As far as I know, Coach House only published one of MacEwen's books, Noman's Land, [1985]. This poster may have been created for publicity for this book, or it may have been a privately commisioned printing job done at Coach House. A few light minor handling creases, else a near fine copy.
