Order Nr. 114278

Printed in an edition of 1000 copies of which this is one of the 100 signed by Bruce Rogers and bound in leather. Printed on English hand-made paper by the Thistle Press in New York City with design and hand-setting by Bruce Rogers. (Blumenthal, p.182-183). Profusely illustrated throughout with illustrations for each month printed in a different color. A very attractive book with many classic illustrations.

The typography is by the notable American book designer Bruce Rogers (1870-1957), who "was appreciated in his lifetime. In addition to several honorary degrees, in 1948 he was awarded a gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters for distinction in the graphic arts. Over decades of accomplishment in which he designed approximately 500 books... Rogers literally defined the profession of book designing in the United States" (ANB).
