Description
This small book, produced by Henry Daniel’s nephew, Henry Martin Daniel, a naval officer, represents a curious episode in the afterlife of the Daniel Press. It was made on the same table press used by Daniel and his brothers at Frome, and elsewhere the younger Daniel refers to it as “the first production of the new Daniel Press.” Emily Daniel was dismissive of the venture and sought to distance it from the ‘real’ Daniel Press. Henry M. Daniel abandoned his printing activities five years later after receiving a court martial and moving to South Africa.
