I have stolen my mother’s Christmas card so that I can wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Thank you for the loan of this rather lovely and idyllic Christmas greeting. Let’s hope next year is full to the brim with peace, laughter, family and friends. 💕

by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Wood engravings by Chris Daunt
Suntup Editions, Irvine, CA, 2023
Lettered Edition, 26 Copies numbered A-Z, 6" x 9"

This Lettered edition is limited to 26 copies and is hand sewn with linen thread, rounded and backed and made on a hollow before being full bound in J. Hewit & Sons yellow Pentland goatskin with black embossed leather onlays in terracotta and leaf green. Onlays have been pared before covering, and are designed to match the style of the wood engravings. A terracotta leather title label is embossed in gold foil and placed between two raised bands on the spine. Endbands are handmade in leather and endpapers are Canson Mi-Teintes with leather onlays at the front.

Housed in a clamshell enclosure covered in Dubletta cloth with velour lined floors, this state is printed letterpress from metal type on handmade Twinrocker paper; one of the finest handmade papers being produced today. Established in 1971, Twinrocker was pivotal to the renaissance of hand papermaking in America. This edition is handbound by Rosy Gray in the United Kingdom.
