Description
Daniel used Fell small pica roman in the first edition of this collection of sonnets by Robert Bridges, printed in a strictly limited edition of 22 copies. Due to high demand, he printed a second edition of 100 the following year, using English black letter. Aside from some minor corrections, the textual content is the same in both editions. The roman version became an instant rarity and has been highly sought by collectors ever since.
