42p. Embellished with color hand-drawn initials in the fashion of the Fifteenth Century by Kurt H. Volk. Title page decorated and printed in red and black. Type set in Janson and printed in four colors by offset on white, heavyweight Fabriano from Fabriano, Italy. Uncut. Wide margins. Top edge gold. Folio. Original leather spine over cloth boards, some soiling. Gilt lettered spine. Limited Edition. Number 707 of only 1000 copies. Signed by Kurt H. Volk. Nice copy. Kurt Hans Volk (1884-1962) was born in Germany, and probably trained as a printer/typographer there. He worked for many years at N.W. Ayers in Philadelphia before starting his own typographic firm in 1927. He widely lectured on advertising typography and authored the important work: "Using Type Correctly." He greatest influence as a designer was probably as a consultant to the Merganthaler Linotype Company. Today he is probably best known for a private series of keepsakes and limited edition books distributed to friends at Christmas. We are pleased to be able to offer one of these here. Fine books from earlier Christmas seasons make great gifts today. CHRISTMAS/W69
