HUNTER, Dard (1883-1966). Miscellaneous Thoughts and Reflections. New Britain, CT: Art Press, 1984. 


2 volumes, 32mo. Small bag of confetti created from paper from Hunter's mill, bundle of deckle edges. Publisher's quarter calf in the shape of Dard Hunter's paper mill and a millstone; enclosure in the shape of Dard Hunter's paper mill. Provenance: Kathryn Ida Hill Rickard (bookplate). 

LIMITED EDITION, one of 100 copies, NEARLY ALL COMPONENTS SIGNED BY CREATOR ROBERT E. MASSMAN with the exception of the enclosure. American Dard Hunter notably created his works using sixteenth century tools and techniques. The enclosure for the present work was modeled after Hunter's paper mill in Lime Rock, Connecticut, which was destroyed by a flood in 1955; all materials used in the creation of this piece were harvested from the last lot of paper taken from the mill before its destruction. Bradbury, REM Miniatures, 67.
