Descripción

Softcover. One of 150 copies. This delightful piece is the second in a series of Wayzgoose Pamphlets to be issued by the Barbarian Press. They write in the colophon: "The examples of dingbats were taken from a selection which has expanded over the years - although we are hard put to remember where most of them came from.We have identified as many as possible from typefounders' specimen books in our library.Some remain mysteries." The pamphlet was hand-set in Joanna type in red and black by Apollonia Elsted with help from Kirsten Way after a design by Crispin Elsted. The headpiece was engraved by Sarah Chamberlain in 1984 and is printed from the original block. The paper is Mohawk Superfine and is sewn into rose colored St-Armand Canal Sisal Current covers. The numerous examples of dingbats are printed from the original castings. In fine condition. Measures 8.5 x 5.5 inches. 12 pages including 4 pages of text and 8 pages with dingbat images.
