Description: This fourth printing of New Hampshire, Robert Frost’s Pulitzer Prize-winning poetry collection, remains a cornerstone in American literature. Featuring exquisite woodcuts by J. J. Lankes, this volume captures the New England aesthetic both in content and design.

The typography and layout exemplify early 20th-century fine book design. This particular copy exhibits signs of use and shelf wear but retains its structural integrity. The book’s corners and spine ends are heavily rubbed, with some fraying to the cloth binding at the edges. Despite these flaws, the pages are securely bound and free of any markings, making it an excellent candidate for restoration or as a collectible in its current state.

J. Lankes’ woodcuts are highly collectible and remain an integral part of Frost’s published works.
