Item Details
Description

American, 1925. A candlestick made for the Rowfant Club of Cleveland, OH, depicting a groundhog holding a branch in one arm and an open book in the other, designed by Frank M. Wilcox (American, 1887-1964). Marked Rowfant Club / 1925 / #14 of 156 copies / R.C. Cowan on underside; ht. 9, dia. 5 in.


Founded in 1892, the Rowfant Club is Cleveland's premier bibliographic society celebrating the art of the book including paper making, bookbinding, and printing. With the Shakespearean motto of "Light Seeking Light Doth Light of Light Beguile," members meet annually on Groundhog Day (Candlemas) and each member receives a candlestick often designed to include their mascot, the groundhog. Members then use these sticks throughout the year to reserve their seats at dinner at their weekly meetings.
