This attractively illustrated and well-made private press book is a love letter to the traditional English herbal. Poet Thomas Fassam (fl. 1940-1952) draws on works from the 16th to 19th centuries to provide the "principal lore" of everyday herbs. These descriptive vignettes are accompanied by the etchings of Betty (Bettina) Shaw-Lawrence (1921-2018), which balance a graceful, loose modernity with a black and white certitude calling to mind the striking woodcuts from historical herbals. Printed by Ditchling Press in Sussex on handmade paper, and in a pleasing but unpretentious binding, this volume is a quiet delight inside and out. FIRST EDITION. No. 58 OF 260 COPIES. Signed by the author on the limitation page.
