Anne Hyde Greet [Cushing] is the author of a book of poems,
Spring Eclogue (Francistown, N.H.: Golden Quill Press, 1962) and of an annotated translation,
Alcoõls Guillaume Apollinaire (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1965). Her poems have appeared in

Scope and Content of Collection
The collection contains examples of fine printing, proofs, prospectuses, articles, lists, bibliographies, catalogs, correspondence,
and other material primarily relating to art and artists’ books in France, the work of Guillaume Apollinaire, Marc Chagall,
Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, and especially the avant-garde Russian artist and publisher Iliazd [born Ilia Zdanevich in Tiblisi,
lived and died in Paris]. Also included are etchings and a manuscript book of Japanese drawings.
There are a number of fine press, artists' books, and other related monographs also donated by Anne Cushing, which have been
cataloged separately and which may be searched on Pegasus, the UCSB Libraries online catalog. Some items, such as art exhibition
