    Custom made over-sized edition of paper enclosures and hard-cover boxes were created at Pointed Press to accompany a set of re-struck prints, printed by Matt Neff at The Common Press, using original blocks of Wharton Esherick. This project was a collaboration between U Penn Special Collections and The Wharton Esherick Museum. The collection includes some rare prints as well as some of Esherick’s most popular images. The set comes with a letterpress title page, curator’s checklist and a colophon.
