Designed and hand-printed by Natalie d'Arbeloff, set in 18 point Garamond and printed on Barcham Green mould-made paper. One of 75 copies, loose in leaves as issued, each leaf consisting of an etching facing text by A.B. Christopher (the artist's father). Signed by Christoper and d'Arbeloff. The leaves are in a printed wrapper. All leaves fine or very nearly so. The set in a solander case with embossed vellum spine over paper boards, trivial wear to the slipcase but the glue attaching the spine to the cream paper board has stained from underneath a little, so VG+.
