⁂ One of a few copies in the deluxe binding by Frieda Thiersch, who trained under the former head of the Doves Bindery, Charles McLeish. She later became head of the bindery for the Bremer Press, which had been founded in 1911 inspired by the Doves Press. Apart from the lettering and titles by Anna Simons, a pupil of Edward Johnston, the books similarly rely on no ornamentation but elegant design and impeccable printing. A portion of each edition was bound in leather, another portion in vellum, and the remainder in cheaper materials, but always in the handsome and typically restrained style of Thiersch.
