King of the Alps--Deluxe copies

 

Abigail Rorer of the Loan Oak Press really knows how to make a deluxe version of a fine press book. She's not only including the beautiful letterpress printed book with her amazing engravings, but also 8 matted prints, an herbarium sheet, a unique watercolor, and a letterpress printed pamphlet. And I've designed a custom box to house all of these items. It includes a pull-out tray for the herbarium specimen, a four flap enclosure for the prints, and a slip case for the book. I've blind-tooled lines on the case of the box and the black leather spine. There are 15 copies of the deluxe edition.
