CALIFORNIA FLORA
by McClintock, Elizabeth
One of 40 copies inserted in this specially made portfolio and containing a separate suite of the 13 DePol plates which often have a penciled "D" under the image. The "floral portraits" were printed from John DePol's original wood engravings by the Feathered Serpent Press. In a fashion similar to earlier publications for the Book Club of California, this volume contains twelve sections. Each pair of facing pages contains text on the left describing the properties of the flower illustrated on the right. John DePol's illustrations are typical of his style and show off his ability to balance blackness with movement within each composition. Patterned endpapers. Cover printed in olive, orange and black.
