15 pages. A facsimile reprint hand set in Caslon type and printed on a 200 year old press by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. It was the first in a series of reprints published by the Colonial Williamsburg Printing office. Widely considered the first book on printing published in Virginia, Typographia commemorated the establishment of the first printing press in the colony, the press of William Parks, who published the poem in 1733. There is a small light brown stain on the front cover; otherwise, the pamphlet is in almost as-new condition. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
