Description
Emily Daniel’s delicate hand drawn red capital letters with flowing tendril ornament adorn many Daniel Press books. Madan described her work as a “labour of love, just as the old illuminators treated the earliest products of printing.” Henry John Patmore, son of British poet, Coventry Patmore, died of tuberculosis the year before this edition was printed.
