Two Special Hannes Bok Illustrated Items
<B>Two Special Hannes Bok Illustrated Items,</B></I> including:<BR><B><I>The Gnome Press' Fantasy Calendar for 1949</B></I>.</B></I> (New York: Gnome Press, 1948), Thirteen 7.5" x 10" black & white wall-mountable calendar pages on heavy card stock, unbound in blue-green paper cover. Each month is illustrated by Hannes Bok, Edd Cartier, or Frank Paul. Each page shows some very minimal edge wear, but in mostly fine condition.<BR><B>Hannes Bok Illustration Proof Set for <I>The Blind Spot</B></I></B></I> <B>and <I>The Spot of Life</B></I>.</B></I> (Philadelphia: The Prime Press, nd), Ten 5.75" x 9.5" black & white Bok illustrations, unbound in tattered brown paper envelope. One of 150 proof sets produced, of which only 125 were for sale. <I>The Blind Spot</B></I> was published in 1951 with these Bok illustrations, but <I>The Spot of Life</B></I> was never published. The first illustration in this set is signed by Bok, though we believe it is a printed signature. The illustrations themselves are in fine condition, with only a couple of them showing the most minimal corner wear. A truly rare opportunity to attain two rare Bok items with one bid. <I>From the Ventura Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
