London n.p. (printed by C. Whittingham) 1845 small 4to. contemporary full calf, boards ruled with foliat and double fillet roll motifs, rims of boards and turn-ins with gilt roll pattern, all edges gilt, five raised bands, red spine label, gilt-tooled spine panels. (198) pages.
Printed as an Eton prize book for 1845. Sixteen satires of Juvenal, and six by Persius. Printed by Whittingham (whose device follows the text) at Chiswick.

Each page is printed within a red border composed of ornaments within a frame of inner and outer single fillets; the title page border differs from that of the other pages.

Cambridge, MA Kat Ran Press 2011 square 8vo stiff paper wrappers 24 pages

  (Kat Ran Press) KAT RAN CHECKLIST. LIMITED EDITIONS DESIGNED, PRINTING, AND/OR PUBLISHED BETWEEN 1994 AND MID-2012. WITH AN INTRODUCTION, OCCASIONAL COMMENTS, AND AN ESSAY ABOUT FINE PRINTING BY MICHAEL RUSSEM.
Cambridge, MA Kat Ran Press 2012 8vo stiff paper wrappers 60 pages
One of 350 copies, of which this is one of 300 copies. Kat Ran Press was founded in 1994 by Katherine and Michael Russem with the goal of combining classical typography and contemporary art with the old ideals of fine printing. The Press had a pretty good run over the next eighteen years, printing everything from modest pamphlets to portfolios which have fetched as much as $1 million at auction. With the closing of the letterpress plant in Florence earlier in 2012, the staff of the Cambridge Offices decided to put together a 60-page illustrated checklist of the over eighty limited editions designed, printed, and/or published at Kat Ran. Included is everything from the student books of the Russems to the last books they printed for The Lone Oak Press and Sherwin Beach Press. All books are described with just the right amount of detail for the casual reader, and most descriptions are followed by additional commentary by the printer. This major checklist of the works by a minor press is a must-have for any collector, printer, student, or library concerned with fine printing between 1994 and the middle of 2012.
