Friendship, Love and Marriage

This book measures 8 3/8" x 5 1/2" and has 55 pages. The text body is Monotype 97J with most editions printed on Roycroft watermarked Fabriano paper, but some editions were printed on Japan Vellum. The initials, title page and colophon devices were designed by Raymond Nott and in some copies they are hand illumined. The binding variants are suede, paper over boards and 3/4 Levant, modeled leather (seen above), and Vellum. The book has no limitation statement. This binding is believed to be by Kranz. This book was displayed in the Head, Heart, and Hand exhibition. The book above was printed on Japan Vellum.
