So wrote C. R. Ashbee (1863-1942), the designer who was instrumental in starting Essex House Press in 1898 as part of his larger Guild of Handicrafts (established 1886). With workmen from Kelmscott (and two Albion presses), Ashbee continued Morris’s ideals of a return to craftsmanship through co-operation and a meaningful engagement in work. Ashbee printed 83 books under the Essex House imprint, and this one (no. 273 of 350 copies) was the first to contain Ashbee’s own design type, Endeavour.]]>

So wrote Stevenson’s wife Fanny. The prayers by RLS and linocuts (executed by Catherine Kanner) are printed on Hiromi-Sansui paper that is so fine that it has been double folded to reduce the type and image biting into each other. Bonnie Thompson Norman printed this fine edition of 200 copies.]]>
