Monotype English Old Style was composed and cast at Mackenzie & Harris by Peter Stoelzl and Lewis Mitchell. The ink blots beneath the folios and the rebus on the title page were made as photopolymer plates. Printing of the type and plates was by letterpress. The intaglio printing of the photogravures was done by R.E. Townsend in Georgetown, Massachusetts. The text paper is all-cotton Ruysdael. The paper for the prints is mould-made T.H. Saunders buff loan. This is book 63 from the Arion Press"--Colophon.
