This Facsimile is created from a
privately held complete copy that was once in the collection of
Edward Newton, the famous author and Jean Hersholt, the
silent film actor.
The digital media that produced this
facsimile was obtained at 1200 DPI. The printing was
achieved using the archival EPSON K3ink system. The
printing process was matched to the paper and tested against the
results from offset printing and was found to be superior using
the K3ink system. This system was also stable and did not
produce any run when water pigments were added. This
proved to be important in the event that we produce a color copy
in the future. The copy we are offering is black and white
as most of the originals would have been.
This facsimile is printed on Hahnemuhle
paper and is completely archival.
Each copy contains 220ml of Matte black
ink.
The binding is alum-tawed pigskin.
The boards are beech wood with bronze bosses and clasps.
The tooling motif was selected from a period style binding from
Nuremberg.
Final weight and dimensions are the
same as our original copy.
We have limited the production of this
facsimile to 100 numbered copies.
