About This Item

Risbury, Herts.: The Whittington Press 1999. Large 4to. Limited to 300 copies, of which this is no. 53. [vi], 86, [40 sample pages] pp. Half cloth and hardcover boards, with faint blind-stamped design, in slipcase; gilt lettering to book's spine. A large collection of different papers were sold by the Oxford University Press to The Whittington Press in 1986. The paper was leftover from books printed at the OUP between 1900 and 1970. John Bidwell, curator of graphic arts at Princeton University, here investigates the art of hand-made paper in England. The second part of this work contains descriptions of each of the 40 sample pages tipped-in at the rear of the volume, including what books were printed on each type of paper. Includes a sample of the rare Batchelor's Kelmscott, designed by William Morris. A clean copy. 1854280589 . Near Fine. Cloth. 1999.
