Notes
"Designed and printed by Russell Maret. The paper was handmade with two custom watermarks at Velke Losiny, Czech Republic. The type and images were predominantly printed from photopolymer plates with the exception of Iohann Titling, Nicolas, and Lisbon Ornaments which were printed from new foundry type manufactured by Micah Currier at the Dale Guild Type Foundry. The image on the Aeschylus page was drawn directly on the page with candle smoke. The binding was designed and executed by Craig Jensen at Book Lab II"--Colophon.
"Seventy copies were made. Fifty-five copies, numbered 1-50 and AP1-AP5, are bound in quarter leather with paper covered boards printed from foundry Lisbon Ornaments. Fifteen copies, lettered A-O, are bound in full leather using two different skins. They are accompanied by a suite of prints and a form of Iohann Titling type"--Colophon.
Morgan has copy L, one of the fifteen copies in full leather with the suite of prints. Laid in are three broadsides printed by Russell Maret and A showing of newly cast foundry type designed by Russell Maret for his book, Specimens of diverse characters (2011).
