A Letter from Romeyn de Hooghe (prospectus) 102123 Baskin had hastily promised himWere not sure weve ever seen a copy in real life of the book for which this prospectus was made. But heres what we can see in real life: This spectacular R lettered by John E. Benson and engraved here by Leonard Baskin. What a friggin beautiful thing. If we were the tattooing type, we might like to have this on our personespecially since our mums initials are RR. Anyway, its a lovely little thing suitable for framing and or tattooing.
