Angelo, Valenti. Of the Most Holy Miracle of Saint Francis in Taming the Fierce Wolf of Gubbio

Angelo, Valenti. Of the Most Holy Miracle of Saint Francis in Taming the Fierce Wolf of Gubbio. New York: Valenti Angelo, 1949. Octavo. [14] pp., illus. Limited edition, one of 75 copies. Signed by Angelo. As issued, in marbled paper over boards with the board edges and turn-ins exquisitely trimmed in black morocco. A very clean, bright copy in later cloth clamshell.

A lovely production, surely printed by Angelo on the small hand-press he purchased from Bruce Rogers which he had himself received from Emery Walker. Angelo sold the press to John Fass the following year who issued the lion's share of his Hammer Creek Press books and ephemera on it—quite a pedigree. An elegant book with a lovely hand-illuminated opening initial by Angelo. Valenti Angelo: Author, Illustrator, Printer p. 79. Emelson, Earl and Gloria (eds). Valenti Angelo: The Man and the Artist.
