| Lay This Laurel, Special Edition | |
|
This photograph of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' great monument to Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and his Fifty-Fourth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, reproduced in hand-pulled gravure, was made by the publishing firm, Curtis & Cameron in 1897, the year of the monument's unveiling on Boston Common. In celebration of the monument's centennial
anniversary, the Eakins Press Foundation has produced an edition of one-hundred
copies of Lay This Laurel, Special Edition. The hand-pulled gravure is
by Jon Goodman. The handmade folio and slip-case binding are by Jim DiMarcantonio.
The folio is self-standing and provides a fine display and presentation
for the gravure that it holds. |
