In den WarenkorbONE OF 100 COPIES, small folded sheet with a 5-colour lino-cut of a Robin (captioned 'friendly company'), pp. [4], 24mo, near fine condition. Accompanying this diminutive opening salvo from the Hampermill Press of Robert Parris is a letter from him on press-headed paper, sending this 'humble and first effort' and explaining issu…es with its production.
