An ABC with best wishes for 1958 from Esther & Leonard Baskin

The twelfth title produced by the Gehenna Press; a delightful little alphabet book. This was produced as a New Year greeting for 1958.

According to the colophon, five plates (letters G, R, T, V & X) were printed from original blocks engraved by Thomas Berwick; three are from 19th century wood engravings (B, N & Q); two from blocks engraved by Leonard Baskin himself (A & D); and the remaining letters are 19th century stereotypes.
