An Apple Gathering

1862

Dartmouth Book Arts Workshop

Printed by Patricia Stone, 2013

Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), an English-born poet of Italian descent, was well versed in the works of Dante and Petrarch. It is no surprise then that Christina wrote prose and poetry, beginning when quite young. Patricia Stone was never a student at Dartmouth, but the Book Arts Workshop allows members of the community to make use of the studio free of charge. Patricia’s version of Rossetti’s An Apple Gathering (first published in 1862) was printed in a class taught by Won K. Chung. The text is printed in Caslon Old Style type, with an appropriate apple green cover and some apple green ink. Her work won the Community Prize in 2014. This copy is number 9 of 20.
