Nancy Ruth Leavitt's interest in the hand lettered book developed as a result of her studies in lettering and bookbinding in the United States and Great Britain. Since 1985 she has created over one hundred and five contemporary illuminated manuscript books filled with lettering, poetry, and colorful painting. Her work is represented in public and private collections including the Houghton Library at Harvard, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Poetry Collection at the University of Western Michigan, Kalamazoo, and the Museum for Women in the Arts, Washington, DC.

First Edition. 14-1/2" x 10-7/8." Numbered 1 of 2 variants, and signed by Leavitt. A full cloth box with recessed manuscript paper label on the front; the box opens into a diptych with batik fabric as a background to both sides. Recessed into the right side is Leavitt's hand-lettered rendering of Dickinson's poem on handmade paper by New England papermaker, Katie MacGregor. Opposite is a collage of hand-cut paper layered into blossoms, feathery leaves, and stems sewn in silk?all of which is in white. Bright and unworn. Quite a remarkable presentation of the beloved Dickinson poem. A supremely gifted lettering artist, Leavitt's manuscript version of the poem done in white gouache on MacGregor's green paper gives Dickinson's words a lightness that is echoed across the diptych with the white, dimensional blossoms on the rich green, blue, and pink fabric with verdant shapes of flowers and foliage. The hand-cut blossoms with their ethereal stems seem to float on the backdrop. It is a beautiful celebration of that quality that Pandora managed to keep in her box. It seems fitting that Leavitt and Dickinson's "hope" is also held in this box. Signed.
