The Grolier Club

1890

Theodore Low DeVinne, a founder of The Grolier Club, was a scholar-printer of wide-ranging abilities, who printed high-circulation magazines like The Century on high-speed printing machines, as well as small, limited editions printed on handpresses. This is one of 325 copies DeVinne designed and printed on Holland paper for The Grolier Club in 1890. It is his personal copy with his finely engraved “Aere Perennius” bookplate, in a special binding by Zaehnsdorf, signed and dated 1899 [check this date in the binding] by Zaehnsdorf on the front, full-leather, pastedown endpaper.
