About This Item
Witney: The Strawberry Press, 2007. First edition. Hardcover. New copy. Imperial octavo. Pp. 40. Illustrated: 12 plates. Slip-case. Number 49 of 150 copies printed by Paul W. Nash on Zerkall mould-made paper. The drawings were printed by J. W. Northend Ltd. of Sheffield. An additional ten copies on hand-made paper, specially bound in red morocco and preserved in a clam-shell box were also issued (details on these from the bookseller). Lord Carlow wrote this essay in 1938 for a book he meant to publish at his Corvinus Press, but the book was never completed because the plates and the printed sheets were destroyed by enemy action in May 1941. Only one copy survived, that belonging to Lord Carlow himself. Paul W. Nash is the author of a detailed study and bibliography on the Corvinus Press (Scholar Press. Aldershot: 1994), and his efforts to bring this book into print are commendable. A most beautiful production in every respect!
