    Henry Morris and his paste papers

By

Abstract

"The proprietor of the Bird and Bull Press and all-round private press legend, Henry Morris created a range of roller-printed paste papers for sale but was disappointed in the response; they are brightly-coloured and possibly a bit too acidic for many, but nonetheless very accomplished. Henry's bibliographer, Sidney Berger, has written a reminiscence of his friend, and the booklet is illustrated by three photos of Henry taken by Sid, along with several samples of the original papers, which also form the wrappers." -- The Fleece Press

    • "With thanks to Carol Blinn who generously passed on to me fifty sheets of Henry's paste paper for a book which never progressed, about twenty years ago. I saved them for something special. There are 95 copies of this fond recollection, soft-bound in a variety of Henry's original papers, and with extra samples tipped in. It is set in Arno Pro with Codex titling, of which Henry was very fond. This is the penultimate letterpress book printed at the Fleece Press, and for the first time each is signed by me, the printer-publisher [Simon Lawrence]" -- Colophon
