A BONNIE NEW GARLAND OF ROBERT BURNS' LOVE SONGS AND POEMS

Limited edition. Signed by the artist and the printer. Original red cloth backed decorative paste paper covered boards from Helen Morley of Wigtown Press, blue paper label printed in red to the spine. Printed on blue Wookey Hole Mill paper using Monotype Scotch roman and italic, with Stephenson Blake Modern No. 20 for display. Four colour lino-cut frontispiece by Petra Wonham, signed by her in pencil to the lower margin and 15 vignettes by Thomas Bewick. A fine copy. A letterpress printed poem by Burns 'Red Red Rose' and the publisher's prospectus for this title loosely laid in.

Originally intended to be an edition of 175, this was reduced by about 50 copies "due to a piece of incredible stupidity carried out by the scally-wag operating the paper trimmer" (publisher's prospectus). The present copy is numbered '29' and signed by Graham Moss in black ink on the colophon.
