The Farmer's Year: A Calendar of English Husbandry [Page Proofs]

Inscribed by author/artist "To John [Taylor Arms] and Dorothy [Arms] on title page. (Receipt laid in from 2005 bookseller's listing identifies the provenance.] Plain paper covers with title label to front cover, under printed dust jacket. The DJ pattern is the same as the endpapers in the 1st edition hardcover; the title label on the front cover is printed with "Page Proofs". Light wear to book & DJ, but both are VG, which is an accomplishment considering the age & size of this paperback. The type & artwork appear to be the same as the published version (except that these proofs are printed on recto only), however because the images aren't inked as heavily as the final edition, more detail can be seen in the woodcuts. Having the proofs side-by-side with the final product is quite an enchanting experience. "She saw her labor as an artist/craftswoman to be on the same level as the work of the farmer. While her work might seem nostalgic to our contemporary eyes, in reality her images were more akin to a protest against the losses of industrialization."
