Lot Description
[KENNEDY, John Fitzgerald (1917-1963)]. -- FROST, Robert (1874-1963). Dedication. The Gift Outright... Presented on the Steps of the Nation's Capitol in Washington, D.C. as Part of the Inaugural Ceremonies January the Twentieth, 1961. New York: The Spiral Press, 1961. 

4to. Presidential seal by Fritz Kredel with typography by Joseph Blumenthal. Publisher's grey boards; original glassine jacket (losses, closed tears). Provenance: Joseph Frost (presentation inscription).
 
LIMITED EDITION, number 122 of 300 copies. INSCRIBED BY ROBERT FROST to his cousin Joseph Frost and his wife Rebecca: “To Joseph and Rebecca”. Robert Frost composed "Dedication" the evening before President-Elect John F. Kennedy's inauguration, intending to read this new work instead of "The Gift Outright" as originally requested. The sun's glare upon the freshly fallen snow blinded the elderly poet, however, and Frost opted to recite "The Gift Outright" from memory. Crane A40. A FINE ASSOCIATION COPY.
