Sixe Idillia

This attractive work, the second produced on the Albion press, represents several “firsts” for the Press. Alfred Parsons’s idyllic frontispiece etching is the first Daniel work to contain an illustration; it is the first work produced in quarto; the first to use ornaments for decorative lines and borders; the first for which a prospectus was issued; and the first to receive a price (12s.). With the exception of the illustrative matter (always rare in Daniel books), all of these features would become standard from this point forward.
