Wayzgoose Pamphlet Number One: The 'Wayzgoose' Explained, with Historical Notes on Cope's Albion, and Sherwin & Cope's Imperial, Presses

Descripción:

Softcover. One of 135 copies. This is the first of a series of Wayzgoose Pamphlets, to be issued occasionally, on subjects relating to printing and printing history. So ran the opening of the colophon of this pamphlet, issued in March 1984 for inclusion in Wayzgoose 84, published by the Public Art Gallery, Grimsby, Ontario. Notice the word occasionally : there has been no subsequent Wayzgoose Pamphlet in the intervening 38 years.The occasion of our 50th wedding anniversary Wayzgoose this fall seemed the perfect opportunity to resurrect this vintage idea of a series of pamphlets on printerly subjects. We have decided to restart the series with a facsimile reprint of this first and so far only Wayzgoose Pamphlet. Apollonia Elsted with her our friend and sometime apprentice, Lea Sanchez Milde, re-set the text from the original edition and printed the pages on a Heidelberg Red Ball Press.It was hand-set in Kennerly in blue and black on Mohawk Letterpress, with a wood engraved headpiece by Sarah Chamberlain. The gathering was then sewn into wraps of St-Armand Canal paper in time for our Wayzgoose in September (2022). In fine condition. Measures 5.5 x 8.5 inches. 8 pages. PRI/120523. N° de ref. del artículo 36947
