CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ OF BOOKS PRINTED AT THE CURWEN PRESS 1920-1923, with an Introduction by Holbrook Jackson

London: The Medici Society Limited, 1924. First Edition. Hardcover. This is No. 85 of 400 copies. Octavo: 27 pp. + [9] sample pages, some with color illustrations. Finely bound by C. and C. McLeish in full brown morocco, with five raised bands and gilt-stamped borders, titling, and dentelles. Top edge gilt, the others are uncut. Charles McLeish the elder (1859-1949) was a finisher for the Doves Press, and this binding is indeed reminiscent of the work of the Doves Bindery. The spine is a touch faded, with a little bit of rubbing to the extremities; else very good or better. Very good. Item #78949
