Description

Original Jim Ptacek Artist Proof "The Rowfant Club" Silk Screen Print. Hand Signature, Hand Written Title and A/P written at bottom. 

The Rowfant Club is located on Prospect Avenue and was founded on February 29, 1892.  The club consisted of members, selected by invitation only who were interested in "primarily the critical study of books in their various capacities to please the mind of man."  The club was named for Rowfant, the home of Frederick Locker-Lampson (1821-95), near Crawley, Sussex, England. Locker-Lampson, a writer of light verse, was a leading book collector of his time. In Oct. 1895 the club acquired its present premises, a home designed and built in 1838 for George Merwin by Charles Heard who built the The Old Stone Church. The Rowfant Club maintains a library with an emphasis on papermaking, printing, and book production.
