Illustrated with 31 monoprints (off hand-painted zinc plates), this poem by David Citino is adapted from the letter Columbus wrote to Ferdinand and Isabella on February 15, 1493, on returning to Spain from his first voyage to the New World. This beautiful book was printed at Logan Elm by Russ McKnight (who also made the Spanish flax paper) in handset Janson. The title page calligraphy and initial letters were hand drawn by Ann Woods.
