Description
In 1822 Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792–1872) set up a private press at his estate at Middle Hill in Worcester. Like Lee Priory, the Middle Hill Press was established to produce editions of ancient, obscure and interesting texts, many of them drawn from the proprietor’s enormous collection of over 100,000 manuscripts and printed books. They are fanatically sought by bibliophiles today, not so much for their beauty, as for the insight they give concerning one of the greatest and most eccentric collectors of all time.
