First Essex House Press edition, number 693 of 750 copies. C. R. Ashbee (1863-1942) and Laurence Hodson (1864-1933) founded the press one year after Morris's death in 1896, "to keep living the traditions of good printing that William Morris had revived" (printer's note). To this end, they hired the Kelmscott Press's former pressman Stephen Mowlem and compositors John Tippett and Thomas Binning.

First Essex House Press edition, number 429 of 750 copies. The Essex House Press "came from the heart of the arts and crafts movement" (Franklin, p. 64). It was founded by Charles Robert Ashbee and Laurence Hodson in 1898, following the closure of William Morris's Kelmscott Press in 1897 "to keep living the traditions of good printing that William Morris had revived" (printer's note). After Morris's death in 1896, Ashbee bought his Albion printing presses, and employed the Kelmscott Press's former pressman Stephen Mowlem and compositors John Tippett and Thomas Binning. This, the press's third book, is "charming to read and bravely set in the usual size of Caslon with a smaller version of Ashbee's initial letters" (Franklin, p. 79).
