About This Item
San Francisco: Paul Elder & Company [The Tomoye Press], 1909. Hardcover. Very good +. Jenkins, Will. Sixteenmo size, 71 pp. This collection of poems by Agness Greene Foster was printed by the Tomoye Press, an imprint associated with Paul Elder & Company, a notable bookstore in San Francisco run by Paul Elder, who, in addition, published his own books. The Tomoye Press was Elder's collaboration with the eminent typographer and printer John Henry Nash (1871-1947), whose standards of quality were second to none. This volume is a careful execution of Foster's seasonal poetry, featuring Nash's excellent typesetting and decorations by Will Jenkins.
