A rare book (one of two in existence) at the Grolier Club. I think it was printed by Jensen. It used to be a smidge bigger, that’s not the original binding. (Also, those are not my fingers) Printed on vellum.

Thanks! The image is my own. While I was in NYC last summer I got to handle quite a few amazing print/type specimens.
