Specimens, proofs and essays

Photo essays. According to Luciano Varaschini, these were made by the designer John Webb on 10" X 12" boards that were photographed. Prior to being photographed, four of the essays were signed by then President Edwin Barclay and dated June 23, 1936. The others were signed by the artist, John Webb. Only 30 sets of these photos were created and are numbered on the back.
