A Victorian travel diary chronicling a ten-week journey round the Mediterranean, illustrated with more than two dozen water-colours and line-drawings. Seven sections making 114pp, in a landscape format. A set of sheets is £80 plus shipping.

A collection of extracts from Palladio's Four books of Architecture, with comments from those who visited them, and illustrations by Carlo Rapp. The book has a slightly unusual collation, necessary to avoid sewing through illustrations that span an opening: two 16-page sections, one 12-page section, fourteen 4-page sections and one 16-page section. In our binding of the book, the 4-page sections (i.e. two leaves each) are glued on the fold, and not sewn. The page height is 356mm, the page width is 250mm. The book is printed on a gorgeous paper by Cartiera Amatruda in Amalfi. A set of sheets is £120 plus shipping.

A four-part poem by Andrew Motion, with four wood-engravings by Simon Brett. The text was hand-set in 14pt Fournier italic and printed on 170gsm Magnani mould-made paper. There are four sections of 12pp. The page height is 270mm, the page width is 190mm. A set of sheets is £60 plus shipping.

An account of the early days and output of the Daniel Press, a family press in Victorian England from which sprang Henry Daniel's press in Oxford. Eight sections making 120pp, with two tip-ins.

Three volumes of a definitive history of printing at one of the greatest of English printing houses in a most important period. Sheets for individual volumes are available.
