FROST, Robert.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

The Complete Poems. Signed limited edition, number 1,172 of 1,500 copies signed by the author, the illustrator Thomas W. Nason, and the printer Bruce Rogers."Never were Nason's engravings more closely aligned with poetry than when he illustrated the verse of Robert Frost. Frost's status as the quintessential rural New Englander, writing in simple, direct, and yet forceful terms about American life makes a ready comparison to Nason's life and work... By the end of their lives Frost's and Nason's reputations were forever intertwined" (Burdan).Bruce Rogers (1870-1957) "literally defined the profession of book designing in the United States" (ANB). The text was first printed in a single-volume signed limited edition published by Henry Holt and Company the previous year. The Limited Editions Club Monthly Letter, and prospectus for this volume, is loosely laid in.
