  • "Designed and produced ... by Andrew Hoyem, with the assistance of Gerald Reddan, Blake Riley, Kenneth Howard, Brian Ferrett, David Johnston, Leif Erlandsson, Sarah Songer, Anna Haglin, Charles Martin, and Diana Ketcham. The type is Pabst Old Style, designed by Frederic W. Goudy in 1902-03, based on lettering he had done for advertisements for the Pabst Brewing Company in Milwaukee and named for its president, Capt. Frederick Pabst. The Monotype version was released in 1912. Lacking the Pabst italic matrices, we substituted Bookman Old Style italic. The type was composed and cast at Mackenzie & Harris and printed by letterpress. The text paper is German mouldmade Schiller. The illustrations are printed on a red sheet from the French Paper Company by duo-tone offset lithography under the direction of Susan Schaefer ... This is the ninetieth publication of the Arion Press"--Colophon.
  • The illustrations are full-page reproductions of drawings, printed in black on red paper. Most incorporate hand-lettered quotations from the text.
