Number 132 of 150 copies printed on Whatman handmade paper and bound by Will H. Ransom at The Handcraft Shop, from a total edition of 160 copies.

This is the first edition in this format and the second Ransom’s second imprint. According to Ransom’s checklist, only two books were published under this imprint during 1901-1902. During the production of this work, Ransom moved to Chicago, which disrupted the third publication, resulting in only ten completed copies.

With introduction, a frontispiece, and illuminated decorative initials by John D. Clancy. A notable example of Arts & Crafts printing in the Pacific Northwest.
