We
are pleased to announce our publication of Edward Lear's Illustrated with linocuts by Pippa Kate Bridle after the original line drawings. Colour has been added using stencils by Bill Severson. This is the third in our occasional series of cat poems used to display newly made metal type. It is set in ATF 18 pt Bulmer freshly cast by Theo Rehak at the Dale Guild Type Foundry of New Jersey. The title page also uses Venetian Outline with a scattering of Eric Gill's designs. The paper is 200gsm Velin Arches. A single section book, 11 by 8 inches, printed in an edition of 180 numbered copies.
Hand bound at the Press with a cloth spine and paste paper over board sides. Bill Severson designed and made the paper, inspired by thoughts of the pea-green boat. Copies cost £30 post paid. Binders may buy unbound sheets for £20.
