About this Item

25x18cm, 36pp. With line drawings by Albert Rutherston, coloured in the pochoir technique. Copy 29 of 130 (150) signed by Scott and Rutherston, printed on Batchelor's Kelmscott paper by The Curwen Press, bound in full cream cloth-covered boards, gilt titling to upper board and backstrip, acetate jacket. Issued to subscribers of 'The Bookman's Journal' - handsome fine printing done to private press standards by The Curwen Press, famous for use of the pochoir stencil technique for colouring and probably the best of the inter-war commercial printing shops. A lovely copy of the deluxe edition of 150 copies on handmade paper (there was also an ordinary edition of 1000 copies). Fine, with the small discreet blind-embossed stamp of Dr Trevor Weston to the corner of the rear endpaper. Seller Inventory # W1644
