(Bird & Bull Press) Hunter II, Dard DARD HUNTER & SON
N.P. (but Newtown, PA) Bird & Bull Press 1998 4to. quarter black morocco, leather spine label, Japanese cloth-covered boards, cloth-covered clamshell box with leather spine label. 152, (6) pages, with 30 additional pages and 6 additional leaves of paper & printing samples, and reproductions.
This fine letterpress work is an edition limited to only 225 numbered copies, of which 180 are pre-subscribed (Leaf Book - Chalmers 215). Henry Morris' Bird & Bull Press has now published a new Dard Hunter book, which aims to "provide a reasonable taste of the original [The Life Work], sufficient perhaps to appreciate the unstinting quality of the artistry and uncommon skill that was lavished on this work," and to provide additional material, including some on Dard Hunter II. The introduction by Mr. Morris is followed by Dard Hunter II's account of the writing of his father's biography, followed in turn by Dard Hunter III's short account of the life of Dard II, with color plates. Dard Hunter & Son documents Hunter's early Roycroft days, studies in Vienna, stained-glass windows, first paper mill in Marlborough NY, early watermarks, typefounding experiments, the move to "Mountain House," brief venture into large-scale hand papermaking, later moulds and watermarks, and his publications. Each topic is complemented by appropriate illustrations. There are three tipped-in-plates with 55 color reproductions of swatches of marbled and paste papers done by Hunter in his Vienna days, three samples (reprintings by Bird & Bull) of 2-color page or cover designs done for the Roycrofters, photos of the Marlborough Mill and a reduced-size reprint of a Dard Hunter poster drawing of the mill, original leaves from various publications, a bound-in sample of paper made by Dard Hunter and two by his son, tipped-in photos of Dard Hunter demonstrating papermaking at MIT in 1946, and a tipped-in facsimile of a page of notes made by Dard Hunter while visiting an English paper mill. The book concludes with a ten-page facsimile of the journal kept by Dard Hunter II while writing the Life Work. In all, there are about seventy individual text illustrations or facsimiles, twenty or so tipped-in plates, and sixteen printings or reprintings by the Hunters and print reproductions by Bird & Bull. This work is set in Ehrhardt type and printed on Frankfurt mould made paper at Bird & Bull. The multi-talented Dard Hunter (1883-1966), who eventually settled upon papermaking and the history of paper as his life's work, is a person of considerable interest in the recent history of the book arts. Relatively little, however, of a biographical nature has been published about him: chiefly his own autobiography of 1958, and the Life Work of Dard Hunter by his son, Dard Hunter II (1917-1989), itself an impressive work printed in Dard Hunter II's own type, and produced in a very limited edition in the early 1980s. Also includes a prospectus.

(Bird & Bull Press) Macfarlane, Nigel PAPER JOURNEY, TRAVELS AMONG THE VILLAGE PAPERMAKERS OF INDIA AND NEPAL.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Books 1993 8vo. quarter cloth, paper over boards, leather spine label. 103, (i) pages.
First edition, limited to 210 numbered copies. This book is a fascinating and entertaining account of contemporary hand papermaking in India and Nepal. The reader is led on a journey from Rajasthan in the northwest of India to Pondicherry in the south, from the cotton growing country of Gujarat to the boulder-strewn plateau of the Deccan, from the Katmandu valley in Nepal to the foothills of the Himalayas. Hand papermaking in India and Nepal is steeped in history and interwoven with village life. Along this journey we learn many interesting details, not only of the techniques and methods of making paper, but also of everyday life in India and Nepal. We experience a ride in the second class carriage of an Indian train; an eight-hour car journey through the night in an Indian version of a 1950s Morris Oxford, with a retired army driver at the wheel; and a treacherous walk up the Nepalese mountains while being overtaken by barefoot porters carrying seventy-kilo loads! There are also, of course, detailed descriptions of the techniques used to make paper. In Sanganer, we learn the papermakers use a "mould" made of hollow grass stems called a chapri, and we experience the making of a chapri while sitting on a charpoy (a string bed) sipping tea. At the Kalam Kush paper mill, we watch rags being sorted, hollander beaters disintegrating fibre, and paper being made on European style moulds by papermakers who work from a standing position and pour the pulp onto the mould. It is an enjoyable way to learn about the different techniques used and the reasons why they were developed. Before commencing this journey, we are informed that a sheet of paper made by hand contains in the pattern of its fibers, in the texture of its surface, in its imperfections, the story of its own origin. The surface of a sheet of Nepalese handmade paper is full of tiny specks, which reflect and glitter in the sunlight, because it is made at three thousand meters in the mountains where the fast-flowing mountain stream contains mica, worn away from the rocks. A paper's origin is an underlying theme of this book, and it is a feature which is visually represented by twenty full-page, tipped-in samples of actual handmade papers from India and Nepal gathered by the author during his visits. These colorful papers provide the reader with a real appreciation of how a sheet of paper contains a message and reveals its own journey on the paper road. A fine book on paper history would not be complete unless it were produced by Henry Morris of the Bird & Bull Press. He has designed this book and printed it by letterpress on imported Arches mouldmade paper. Along with the twenty paper samples, this book contains thirty-one black-and-white illustrations, a chronology of papermaking in India and Nepal, and a select bibliography.

(Bird & Bull Press) McClure, Floyd Alonzo CHINESE HANDMADE PAPER
With a Preface by Elaine Koretsky. Newtown, PA Bird & Bull Press 1986 4to. quarter morocco and tips with leather spine label. 124, (4) pages.
First edition, limited to 325 numbered copies. McClure spent most of the period 1919 to 1941 in China as a botanist with a strong interest in bamboo. He became fascinated with the use of bamboo in papermaking and wrote his Master's thesis on Chinese Handmade Paper. This thesis has not been printed in book form previous to now though he had hoped to see it published and had brought back many samples of paper from China to use in its publication. Fortunately, Elaine Koretsky found this thesis and the trunks of handmade paper specimens and convinced Henry Morris at the Bird & Bull Press that the work was important. The resulting book contains an introduction by Koretsky, comments by Morris, the thesis, reproductions of photographs made by McClure showing Chinese papermaking and 40 actual tipped-in specimens of paper rescued from the trunks. A beautifully produced book with an important text. With prospectus loosely inserted. The prospectus has handwritten notes by the former owner along with a carbon of a letter he had written Henry Morris praising the book. With original invoice issued by the Bird & Bull Press.

(Bird & Bull Press) Morris, Henry NICOLAS LOUIS ROBERT AND HIS ENDLESS WIRE PAPERMAKING MACHINE
Newtown, PA Bird & Bull Press 2000 folio cloth-covered portfolio with paper cover label and accompanied by small 4to. cloth-covered book with a paper cover label. Both inserted in a folio clamshell box with a leather spine label. 41, (3) pages and additional plates.
Printed in an edition limited to 150 numbered copies. The actual inventor of the paper machine was a thirty-three year old former artilleryman named Nicolas Louis Robert (1761-1828). The existence of five of his own ink and watercolor patent drawings was not previously known until Leonard Schlosser bought the set at auction and reproduced them. His reproductions have now been lost except for a very few copies, one of which was given to Schlosser's friend Henry Morris. These drawings are of historical significance because they describe in detail the very beginning of the paper machine, an invention that had almost as much impact as Gutenberg's printing press. The cheap production of paper and the resultant dissemination of knowledge and information would not have taken place without this invention. The five drawings are reproduced full size on 12" x 16-3/4" card stock and held in a separate board portfolio. The accompanying book provides background material on the inventor and his machine and a chapter on the paper collector and historian Leonard Schlosser.

(Bird & Bull Press) Schmoller, Tanya REMONDINI AND RIZZI, A CHAPTER IN ITALIAN DECORATED PAPER HISTORY.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Books 1990 8vo. cloth-backed, patterned paper (in facsimile of an original Remondini pattern specially executed by Henry Morris), leather spine label. 55, (5) pages.
Limited to 215 numbered copies. Set in Perpetua and printed letterpress on Johannot mould-made paper by Henry Morris at the Bird & Bull Press. Italian block-printed papers were the start of the collection of decorated papers that Tanya Schmoller, and her husband Hans, gathered for over twenty years. The use of woodblocks to transfer designs to cloth and paper can be traced back in Europe to the fourteenth century. In the region of what is now Italy, there were several firms supplying these colorful papers, the most prominent being the firm of Remondini which was established in 1650. This work traces the history of the Remondini enterprise and also that of Giuseppe Rizzi who took over the Remondini woodblocks after 1861. It examines the sales techniques and production methods of these two firms and contains actual specimens of Rizzi decorated paper. Today such samples are rarely found and they are usually very expensive. The illustrations include a three-color facsimile of a Remondini woodblock and a fold-out reproduction of a decree authorizing the sale of gilt paper. There are also four pages of genuine Rizzi paper samples. Prospectus loosely inserted.
