EXHIBITION OF BOOKS ON PAPERMAKING, A SELECTION OF BOOKS ... Taylor B1. One of 300 copies. This was the first commissioned work done for another institution by Henry Morris at his Bird & Bull Press. The printed cover design is repeated on a second sheet of salmon colored paper as a watermark. The catalogue describes 75 landmark books on papermaking and is an excellent "high spot" bibliography of the field.
