Description: Dorset, Lord Haberly, 1937. Leather. A collections of poetry written and printed by Loyd Haberly in Stony Down, Corfe Mullen, Dorset. Loyd Haberly (1896–1981) was an American poet, letterpress printer, and educator. After studying at Reed College and Harvard, Haberly was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to study Law at Trinity College, Oxford. However, he became interested in fine printing while in England and began to print and bind books under his own imprint, the Seven Acres Press. He was named controller of the Gregynog Press, a well-known private press in Wales, in 1933, but his tenure with the press was brief and, by most accounts, less than satisfactory to all concerned. When he left he was presented with a supply of the type, which he later used, after returning to the United States, in the production of a number of hand-printed limited editions for which he served as author, illustrator, printer, and binder. Limited edition - number 14 of 150 - with a vignette title page. In a quarter-morocco binding with decorative boards. Externally sound, with just some rubbing to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
