Wood engraving on paper measuring 8 1/2 by 6 inches. Hinged and matted. Printed by Joseph Blumenthal at his Spiral Press from an electrotype of the original woodblock. Rima formed part of a sequence of eight illustrations Landacre submitted to the Limited Editions Club for a proposed edition of W.H. Hudson's Green Mansions. Ultimately, the LEC commission went to Edward A. Wilson, but Landacre pulled a suite of images from the blocks which he issued in very small editions (all fewer than 100 copies) in 1933. Jake Wien, in his comprehensive catalogue raisonne of Landacre notes that "(t)his rendition of the recumbent and naked Rima is echoed in a color trade advertisement for Green Mansions, c. 1934, an RKO studio vehicle for Dolores Del Rio," who turned down the role, thereby scrapping the project (p. 236). Few spots to mat margin; print is fine. (Wien 127)
