Description

"Designed and printed by Christopher and Anthony Sandford, Francis Newbery, and Owen Rutter ... All the titling and the type used belong to the Golden Cockerel fount designed for the Press by Eric Gill and cut by Caslon, the Poem being in the 18-point size, and the note on the Verse and the Argument in the 14-point size. All the type has been set by A. H. Gibbs, assisted by H. Batchelor, and the press worked by H. Barker. The lamb-vellums were prepared by Band.

The cloth sides were hand-marbled by Sydney Cockerell. The edition is limited to 200 numbered copies: numbers 1-4 printed on the vellum and numbers 5-200 on the paper." -- Colophon.
