Limited to 525 copies, of which this is one of 500 copies. (Haas 113). A near fine copy. Designed by Bruce Rogers and printed in Italian Old-style with an ornament in red on the title page.

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).
