“SERMON OF HIS EMINENCE FRANCIS CARDINAL SPELLMAN At the Pontifical Mass on the Occasion of the Observance of the Silver Jubilee of his Consecration, Yankee Stadium, September 7, 1957.”
ACHILLE J. ST. ONGE (1913–1978) was the greatest maker of miniature books in the 20th Century. Based in Worcester, Massachusetts, he began producing them as a hobby in 1935. By the time he ceased in 1977, St. Onge had created 48 miniature masterpieces on an eclectic variety of subjects. The books all remain much-prized by collectors.
