The text type is Plantin, in Monotype composition, with Brush Script handset as the display type. The advertisements feature different display types and borders ... The prints were made by the artist scratching the emulsion of film, which was then used to expose polymer plates, creating the linear effect of etching. The type and plates were printed by letterpress on Mohawk Via laid paper ... This is the eighty-second publication of the press. The edition is limited to 300 numbered copies for sale and 26 letters complimentary copies."--Colophon.
