Description

Colin Franklin, scholar, antiquarian bookseller, and book collector was an ardent admirer of the Daniel Press. While most studies of the Press have focused on its printing history, Franklin’s essay concentrates on the work of the Oxford poets in Daniel’s circle. He promises to “recall a few poets who are seldom read” while mentioning the Fell types “as little as possible.” This is one of 30 copies printed on hand-made paper at Sebastian Carter’s Rampant Lions Press.
