About this Item

First edition thus, number 83 of 150 copies, signed by the papermaker and the artist-printer. The Old Stile Press started in London in 1979 before a move to the Wye Valley, near Tintern Abbey. This publication was, therefore, a special project for the press with the papermaker and artist-printer noting "we can almost see Wordsworth's footprints on our riverbank". Plants grown beside the river Wye were apparently used in the endpapers. Small folio. Frontispiece, 3 plates, illustrations in text by Nicolas McDowall. Original blue quarter morocco, spine lettered in silver, design in blue and lettered in black on front cover, coarse endpapers. Fine.
