About This Item
'The Gregynog Press, Montgomeryshire, was one of many artistic activities due to the enlightened philanthropy of two sisters, Miss Gwendoline Davies, C.H., and Miss Margaret Davies, LL.D.. The standard of craftsmanship which was quickly achieved made it comparable with leading private presses in England and Germany' (Thomas Jones: 'The Gregynog Press', 1954; see page 36 for details of the present title). The original prospectus (a bifolium reprinting the two-colour title page and a specimen page of text with a colour illustration) is loosely inserted. Interestingly, the date on the title page on the prospectus is MCMXXXVI, a year later than that printed in the book.
