Note

• "This edition of 125 copies is keyboarded and cast in 18 and 20 point Caslon (the latter almost identical to William Caslon I's 22 point of 1732, one of the earliest and best designs in the Caslon family). the 96 point Caslon swash capitals on the title page were designed by T. M. Cleland for American Type Founders. The text paper is a deckle edged wove acquired from Oxford University Press among a large collection of hand – and mould-mades in 1985. The paper used for the tip-ins is Zerkall Bütten-Karton mould-made, and the posters themselves are printed on a variety of papers as described in the text. Edition A, numbered 1-50, contains thirty-five posters, and a separate portfolio of about ten assorted loose posters. Edition B, numbered 51-100, contains twenty-five posters. Edition C, numbered 101-125, contains six assorted posters. The wood-engravings used here and on the half-title page are by Hellmuth Weissenborn. Keyboarded and cast at Whittington by Peter J. Sanderson, and bound by The Fine Bindery." -- colophon.
