Exhibit opening: Holiday Greetings from Robert Frost

Robert Frost and the Spiral Press created holiday greeting cards of the highest craftsmanship and design from 1929 until 1962. Works of art in themselves, the cards also stand as true first editions of the chosen poems. Frost became a true champion of fine letterpress, and commented that “the Spiral’s typography and printing found things to say to my poetry that hadn’t been said before.” For the first time since 1961, when Corinne Tennyson Davids donated the Wales Hawkins Memorial Collection of Frostiana to Middlebury, the complete set of 28 holiday cards is on exhibit in the Davis Family Library. Please join us to celebrate. Light refreshments will be served.
