Gwen Frostic, These Things Are Ours (1960) — Presscraft Papers, Benzonia, Michigan
A charming small green hardcover by celebrated Michigan artist, poet, naturalist, and printmaker Gwen Frostic. These Things Are Ours is a beautifully produced book of quiet nature poetry and original Frostic artwork, printed on a variety of handsome, high-quality papers. The work reflects Frostic’s distinctive mid-century aesthetic, with lyrical observations on the natural world accompanied by her characteristic organic, block-print-style illustrations.
Published by Frostic’s own Presscraft Papers in Benzonia, Michigan, this is an especially appealing example of her artist-made books, valued for the integration of text, printing, paper, and design.
