THE OLD SCHOOL PRESS

Moments in the making of Oxford's Ornaments

Click on the image to move on to the next.

A few years ago, Whittington Press prepared six strips and two triangles of ornaments from OUP for a book on OUP. They took an immense amount of time to prepare for the reasons you saw on the last picture and the arrangements were never dissed. So I have decided to use them again on the end-papers of the book. So here they are, set up on the bed of the press, inked in purple for the end-papers of the standard copies.

It all looks neat and tidy and ready to go but there are problems in store.
