BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE VALE PRESS. The Books Issued by Halcon & Ricketts.
London: Ballantyne Press, 1904. 6 x 8 1/2. xli, (1) pages. Cloth backed boards, with cover and spine labels. A little wear to boards, spine label chipped, water stain on rear cover and end paper --small water stain on lower tip of most pages. Despite its faults, this remains an attractive book. Item #5997
The three type faces designed by Ricketts appear together here--for the first and last time. Ricketts consigned the punches and matrices to the Thames, and melted the type. The first 18 pages put forth Ricketts' views on what constitutes fine printing.
Price: $525.00
