Description

This poem by Sir T. Herbert Warren, classical scholar and President of Magdalen College, was written in honor of the Daniels’ daughters, Rachel and Ruth. The large Fell double pica italic, used here for the first time in a Daniel book, lends the work a distinctive appearance. Emily Daniel sewed each copy by hand with silk thread.
