The Roycroft Printing Shop announces the publication about Christmas time
of an exquisite edition of the Song of Songs: which is Solomon’s; being a
Reprint of the text together with a Study by Mr. Elbert Hubbard.
In this edition a most peculiar and pleasant effect is wrought by casting
the Song into dramatic form. The Study is sincere, but not serious, and
has been declared by several Learned Persons, to whom the proofsheets
have been submitted, to be a Work of Art. The Volume is thought a seemly
and precious gift from any Wife to any Husband, or from one Friend to
another.
=The book is printed by hand, with rubricated initials and title page,
on Dickinson’s handmade paper. The type was cast to the order of the
Roycroft Shop, and is cut after one of the earliest Roman faces. It is
probable that no more beautiful type for book printing was ever made,
and, for reasons known to lovers of books, this publication will mark an
era in the art of printing in America.=
_Only six hundred copies, bound in flexible Japan vellum, have been made
and will be offered for sale at two dollars each, net. There are also
twelve copies printed on Japan vellum throughout, which will be sold at
five dollars each. Every copy is numbered and signed by Mr. Hubbard. The
type has been distributed and no further edition will be printed._
