About This Item
Whittington: Whittington Press, 1998. One of an edition limited to 300 copies. Half buckram with decorated paper-covered boards, slipcase. About forty samples (many of them half or quarter sheets) of hand-made papers used at the OUP from 1900 to 1970 are tipped in. These samples are from the hoard of papers discovered when the OUP moved its paper warehouse in 1986. The papers were primarily from British hand-made paper mills, but a few were from the continent as well. Bidwell has not only researched the use of each of these papers, but also has provided a detailed history of each mill and a description of the papers, including watermarks. 120 pages. Small folio. Fine in a fine slipcase.
