Physical Description
Two sets of a portfolio of proof printings made from Vance Gerry's printing blocks by the Whittington Press. One copy is inscribed to Mary Palmer Gerry by John Randle; the other is inscribed to the Clark Library and includes a letter from John Randle to Clark head librarian Bruce Whiteman. It seems unlikely that both of these portfolios originated in accession MS.2011.013, but they were both stored with that collection.
