Uncommon Paper

A Collection of Papers & Ornaments

A miniature book assembled from off-cuts of the various hand- and mouldmade papers used in Paper Should Not Always be White. Each of the 12 papers included is presented as a folio, i.e. a four-page section (some foldouts), with its name printed on the first recto and a simple ornament or device printed on the second. The title page, two-page foreword, and colophon were set by hand in Perpetua. Printing was done with HM’s Pratt-Albion handpress – the first complete HM book printed on this press. Edition of 26 press-lettered copies uniformly cased at HM. Miniature, 30 leaves. 2013
