Description

FREE domestic or international shipping with direct order. **[Palo Alto, California? The author? ca. 1962]. A total of 14 folders in two separate, original packaging, unopened. Cards: 8 x 5 inches; envelopes: 5.5 x 8.125 inches. In a letter to my wife and me Miriam Patchen described these two new series as ". . . seven different, never-before-pubished 'Picture-poems' on a variety of colored and not colored papers, some surfaced, some not, packaged with deluxe, deckle-edged (like the one here) envelopes in a sealed cellophane wrapper with a gaily-colored identifying label. . . . The printing is small." We ordered 25 sets of each on 28 July 1962 and probably sold most of the cards singly. I cannot identify the poems without opening the seals; the colors appear to be white, yellow, light blue, and green. Some darkening of the tape used to seal the packages, but otherwise as we received them nearly 50 years ago. 2 packages, a total of 14 cards and envelopes.
