(A Memoir of Book Design 1969-2000, page 106-107) This book is made from the limited edition plates created in 1973. In 1922, Duncan Gleason (1881-1959) created a series of copper etchings for the etched book Windjammers. Although the publisher planned 325 copies, probably not more than 100 pulls were made from the plates. No other editions or states of these etchings other than the 1973 Edition printed at Triad Graphics in a limited edition of 25 numbered impressions. The are no signed or unnumbered impression other than 10 publishers proofs which are so marked. The edition including the publishers proofs was done on Murillo paper using brown ink. There are a total of 50 trial proofs of various etchings done in black or brown ink and are marked as such. Each etching is impressed with the blind stamp of the Gallery Easel.
