HENRY L. P. BECKWITH. [H. P. Lovecraft interest]. — Bookplate and related ephemera.

[no publisher / no date], A copy of Lovecraft-scholar Henry L. P. Beckwith's splendid colour bookplate designed by Hans B. Birk, Toronto 1970, here redrawn by Z. G. Alexy for his book 'Ex Libris Armales', together with a small typographic plate designed and set in Arreghi by Beckwith in 1966, the two housed in an envelope with typed description of the contents and his address stamp. These items were sent to bookseller Robin Beaumont by Beckwith's then fiancée Alice H. R. Hanck, and enclosed with a folded card containing an inked note by the same. Together with original mailing envelope which lacks the flap. Beckwith is the author of 'Lovecraft's Providence and Adjacent Parts' (1979) which details sites in Providence, Rhode Island related to H. P. Lovecraft. The book grew out of a bus tour of Providence that Beckwith held as part of the World Fantasy Convention and is regularly reprinted. Beckwith is also acknowledged for his assistance in the writing of L. Sprague de Camp's 1976 'Lovecraft: A Biography'. [A light item, UK postage will be reduced]., Near Fine
