VALE PRESS. APULEIUS, Lucius. De Cupidinus et Psyches Amoribus Fabula Anilis. , Hacon & Ricketts,. 1901.

310 copies printed, folio (295 x 195); pp.xxx + colophon; five wood-engraved illustrations, full-page border & large initial, by Charles Ricketts; printed in the Vale type on Arnold's hand-made with graver mark; a very good uncut copy in later blue calf-backed marbled boards, lettered in gold along backstrip. 'Undoubtedly, one of Ricketts' motivations in printing a Latin text was the opportunity to display the Vale fount to its best advantage... The presence of fewer tailed letters gives the printed page a greater evenness of effect, especially in the large format that Ricketts chose for this text.' Watry B33. (Book ref. 14168 )  £ 220.00
