Notes
"George Walker created & printed the Frontispiece on paper hand-made by Christine Trainor. He also created many other wood engravings from which Joseph Brabant selected ninety-four for inclusion in this book. The types used are handset Century Schoolbook, roman and italic, for the text, and Hadriano and Hadriano Stone-Cut for the headings. The engravings and type were impressed on paper, hand-made by Wendy Cain and Lisa Neighbour, for copies 1 to 14, and on Mohawk Letterpress Paper for copies 15 to 177, using a 10x15 Chandler & Price platen press. Printing was done at Poole Hall Press in Grimsby."--Colophon.
