A Leaf Book Newtown, PA Bird & Bull Press 2007 small 4to. quarter morocco leather, Japanese silk boards, leather spine label 59 , (13) pages
Limited to an edition of 150 numbered copies. The book contains a foreword by Henry Morris, and essay about Joseph Florimond Loubat by Pete Smith, a bibliographical addendum by George Kolbe, a book review of Loubat's master work, Medallic History of the United States of America, by John W. Adams (the author of Comitia Americana which was printed in limited edition of 60 by Henry Morris in 2007) that provides a wealth of information and two original leaves from Medallic History. Loubat's 1878 Medallic History has provided the foundation for all later writings on this subject. The leaves are from the substantial number of Jacquemart etchings that were originally produced for Medallic History. In addition to the two full-size original leaves, there are two leaves from the letterpress limited edition of Adams' Comitia Americana which had some selected Jacquemart etchings. Each of the Jacquemart leaves show the front and back of a medal issued by Congress to commemorate significant victories during the American Revolutionary War and the officers who achieved them. Jules Jacquemart is described by Arthur M. Hind in his History of Engraving and Etchings as " a virtuoso of the most delicate etching, he has remained almost unrivalled, and few etchers have trodden the same road..." The present volume was printed on Zerkall Mouldmade Paper using Garamond type. Prospectus laid-in.

Last Bird & Bull book on Henry Morris's handmade paper

(Leaf Book) Heaney, Howell J. THIRTY YEARS OF BIRD & BULL A BIBLIOGRAPHY, 1958-1988.
With a foreword and commentary by Henry Morris. Newtown Bird & Bull Press 1988 8vo. three-quarter morocco, Bird & Bull Press paste-paper over boards, morocco spine label. Accompanied by a cloth folder containing various text pages and ephemera; both inserted in a cloth-covered and lined clamshell box with a morocco spine label. 104 pages.
Limited to only 300 copies; special copies purchased from Henry Morris and numbered 3 to 10 in the colophon (Leaf Book - Chalmers 190). These copies came from Henry Morris's private stock and contain "the most choice stuff". This is the last copy purchased and is numbered "8". The book contains a complete bibliographical description of all books and selected ephemera printed by and for the press plus books printed by the press for others, since 1980. There is also a short-title list of all the entries from the 1979 bibliography, making this the definitive work on this fine private press. Each entry lists the collation, reprints the colophon and in most cases has a fascinating and enlightening commentary written by Henry Morris. All the humor is there, along with thoughts and beliefs that can probably only really be appreciated by a fellow letterpress printer who feels the anxiety, frustration and total commitment that goes into a private press production! Mention must be made of the type specimen list, contained within the folder of ephemera, which must be one of the most innovative and unique type specimens ever produced. Amazingly the book itself also has tipped-in samples and facsimile pages. Henry Morris took over two years to produce this book making all his own paper, writing, hand typesetting, printing in two colors, folding, pasting, etc. It certainly is a fitting tribute to the press's 30th anniversary. It was the last book produced by the press on paper made by hand by Henry Morris. Priced separately.
