195811447Westerham Kent UK: Privately Printed Westerham Press 1958. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. 12mo 31pp. plus back matter. A fine copy in the publisher's thin grey wooden veneer boards with plain white spine. Spine gently and evenly faded but with the gilt still bright. Else very fresh and handsome. To paraphrase from Lane's Foreword the illustrations herein were created for various Penguin trade publications over the previous ten years. Since the thin mass-produced paper cannot give the full flavor of these wood engravings Lane decided to have this little volume made on thicker handmade paper Hosho-Shi from Berrick Brothers in London which does more justice to the engravings. With contributions from Reynolds Stone Cecil Keeling Derrick Harris Imre Reiner Roy Morgan George Buday David Gentleman and Diana Bloomfield. A lovely little book. Laid-in is a Christmas card from H. F. Paroissien who seems to have been a Director at Penguin at the time of publication. Privately Printed [Westerham Press] hardcover
