0237 - Star-Splitter Head Piece; 0239 - Star-Splitter Head Piece Top
- Scope and content:
-
First page of THE STAR-SPLITTER, offset from the September 1923 issue of CENTURY MAGAZINE. The sky part of the illustration is J.J. Lankes woodcut design #239, cut 060123. The other part is the lower part of design #237, cut 052523. The upper part of design #237 was perhaps too "dawnish" to be used with the poem. Original headpiece was #236, 1.87" x 11.5", for which a print cannot be found. All three parts are on one block, about 6.4 x 5.6 inches. Offset April 1978 from the first impression by the artist, probably hand-burnished. 2 prints for a combined #237 and #239, and 1 print for a "complete" #237.
