[The Papermaker's statement]: We produced this book because Oliver Bayldon chanced one day to visit my small paper mill, and watched entranced the transmutation of growing things into sheets of textured paper. He came again bearing sacks of stalks, roots, and leaves, and stayed himself to turn them into paper. One day he brought these verses, his own free translation from a 17th century Latin poem Papyrus by Father Imberdis S.J. of Ambert, the papermaking district of Auvergne in France. Will Carter agreed to print it for us. Most of the white paper used for the text is from Millbourn at Tuckenhay in Devon. The small amount of thinner white was made at Wookey Hole in Somerset. Jack Green produced the grey green sheets at his Hayle Mill in Kent. The rest of the coloured paper is from my Twelve by Eight Private Mill in Leicester. Alas, no longer is paper made by hand anywhere else in England [in 1965]. Of this edition there are less than four hundred copies, of which this is Number 96 [signed]: John Mason. [-From the signed & numbered leaf].
