Additional notes:
The type is Pabst Old Style, designed by Frederic W. Goudy in 1902-03, based on lettering he had done for advertisements for the Pabst Brewing Company in Milwaukee and named for its president, Capt. Frederick Pabst. The Monotype version was released in 1912. Lacking the Pabst italic matrices, we substituted Bookman Old Style italic. The type was composed and cast at Mackenzie & Harris and printed by letterpress. The text paper is German mouldmade Schiller. The illustrations are printed on red sheet from the French Paper Company by due-done offset lithography under the direction of Susan Schaefer.

The is the ninetieth publication of the Arion Press.
