Wood engraving on paper measuring 8 7/16 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. Few spots to mat margin; print is fine. (Wien 126)
