A propos de cet article

Size of the binding: 8 in. x 12 in., tan textured paper leaf; white laid paper leaf with watermark; half-title; frontispiece by Rigby Graham, printed in black & blue-green on light gray-green paper; title-page printed in red-brown and black on light gray-green paper; printer's leaf, numbered & signed by John Mason. [6]pp., pp. 1-19 (text of the poem), with seven wood-cut type illustrations by Rigby Graham, each is printed on a sheet of pastel-colored, textured paper, in a matching but darker colored ink: light tan, green, blue, gray, etc.; white laid paper sheet and tan textured sheet of paper flyleaves. This copy is Newly bound from sheets, according to a pencilled notation on the front paste-down. Bound with dark brown morocco leather spine and sides, with two raised bands on the spine, and the author's name and title gilt-lettered vertically along the spine, with gilt tooling, and blindstamped line along the leather sides, with lighter brown cloth over boards, white laid paper endpapers. The cloth on the cover edges & margins show very slight age-related fading, a light spot on upper back cloth cover. The binding is unsigned. [The Papermaker's statement]: We produced this book because Oliver Bayldon chanced one day to visit my small paper mill, and watched entranced the transmutation of growing things into sheets of textured paper. He came again bearing sacks of stalks, roots, and leaves, and stayed himself to turn them into paper. One day he brought these verses, his own free translation from a 17th century Latin poem Papyrus by Father Imberdis S.J. of Ambert, the papermaking district of Auvergne in France. Will Carter agreed to print it for us. Most of the white paper used for the text is from Millbourn at Tuckenhay in Devon. The small amount of thinner white was made at Wookey Hole in Somerset. Jack Green produced the grey green sheets at his Hayle Mill in Kent. The rest of the coloured paper is from my Twelve by Eight Private Mill in Leicester. Alas, no longer is paper made by hand anywhere else in England [in 1965]. Of this edition there are less than four hundred copies, of which this is Number 96 [signed]: John Mason. [-From the signed & numbered leaf].…
