Second stanza of Keats’s “To Autumn” (Püterschein-Hingham, 1951). Prelim sketch shows that WAD was first thinking about having a color illus/decoration with each stanza. Final book had color only on title page.

Yet another amazing stencil decoration for the Poe “Tales” book published by The Lakeside Press in 1930.

Another of WAD’s superb stencil decorations, this one for the opening of the tenth Edgar Allan Poe story in “Tales” (The Lakeside Press, 1930).

Printed front cover and prelim sketch for Arcadia booklet, 1947. Lovely Arcadia was never brought to full release by Linotype. Dwiggins described it as “round and crisp — like the new moon one day out — a trimming of Diana’s toe-nail.”

Another stencil decoration for the opening of Poe’s ninth story in “Tales” (The Lakeside Press, 1930)

Stencil decoration for the opening of another of Poe’s stories in “Tales” (The Lakeside Press, 1930).

Original art for a decoration by Dwiggins. After nearly a hundred years, WAD’s careful retouching with white opaque is failing.

The 1923 book celebrating Franklin’s arrival in Phildelphia was designed by WAD, but lots of others had a hand in the production, too. Including the great N. C. Wyeth, who painted the frontispiece.

More experimentation with colors for the “Marooned” print, 1925. As in all states of the image, that distant sail sits beyond reach on the horizon . . .

Another Sinbad image made for the 1925 Society of Calligraphers portfolio: “Marooned.” WAD’s simple shapes carry such powerful emotion . . .
