Description
C.H. St. John Hornby, founder of the Ashendene Press, became inspired by the works of the Daniel Press while a student at Oxford. This edition of Milton in Fell Great Primer is one of ten books Hornby printed in Fell types between 1896 and 1901. In his bibliography, he expressed preference for the “rugged distinction” of the Fell types in comparison to the “more refined and commonly used types of Caslon.”
