ASHENDENE PRESS
SPENSER (EDMUND) Minor Poems, one of 200 copies on paper, printed in Subiaco type in red, blue and black, double column, initials designed by Graily Hewitt, a few spots mostly to extreme fore-edge, original calf-backed vellum, spine in compartments within seven raised bands [Hornby 35], folio, Chelsea, Ashendene Press, 1925
Footnotes
Companion volume to the Faerie Queene. "There is a larger use of blue than in any of the other books ... For this reason, and because of the varying length of the lines of the different poems included in the volume, it presented a more than usually difficult and interesting typographical problem" (Hornby).
