The Discovery of Florida: Being a True Relation of the Vicissitudes That Attended the Governor Don Hernando De Soto…by A Fidalgo of Elvas
Edwin Grabhorn, Robert Grabhorn, San Francisco, California, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
This stunning quarto is printed in an attractive black letter. The decorations, including the cover design and the initials, owe a clear debt for their inspiration to the lateEric Gill, although they are by a contemporary artist. Despite, therefore, a certain archaic quality and a binding which warps, this is a noble volume, splendidly printed.
