One of 115 copies printed in black and red on handmade paper (an additional 10 were printed on vellum) by Temple Scott.
Beautiful double-page title woodcut and printer's device designed by F.
Tolles Chamberlin.
A near fine copy (boards slightly splayed) in original full vellum binding, lacking silk ties.
SIGNED on the colphon by Chamberlin at a later (hard to decipher) date.
This was the first volume produced by the Monadnock Press.
The text is taken from William Painter's Palace of Pleasure (1567), a source for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
