RARE Jane Grabhorn / Colt Press Broadside - \"Who Was That Lady...\" - Letterpress For Sale

Description:An exceptionally scarce typographic broadside from the final years of Jane Bissell Grabhorn, a central figure in the legendary Grabhorn/Colt Press circle of San Francisco.

• The \"Lost\" Work: While documented in the Colt Press archival records, this title is missing from WorldCat and major sale databases. It represents a \"private circulation\" ephemeral work, likely printed in a very small run for the Grabhorn\'s intimate circle.

• The \"Sexagenarian\" Clue: The text references Grabhorn as a \"sexagenarian,\" dating the piece to approximately 1972–1973, making it one of the final specimens of her long and influential career.

• Typographic Style: A vibrant three-color letterpress (Yellow, Red, and Black) that showcases the bold, playful aesthetic Jane brought to the Jumbo and Colt Press imprints.

• Paper: Printed on premium cream stock featuring the T.H. Saunders watermark.

• Dimensions: 17.5\" x 10\"—a significant size perfect for archival framing.

Near Fine. The letterpress impressions remain deep and crisp. The sheet is intact with no losses, tears, or foxing—only light, even toning consistent with 50 years of careful storage.
