We are publishing the XLth publication of the Florence Officina in the Nice atelier as the 20th issue, and the 27th item in the catalog. We made it with our own hands and antiqua modo, folding the text with an antique <Cochin> point 12, made in Paris, at the Deberny&Peignot foundry, and rebinding it on handmade purely rag, ribbed paper with the Oficyna watermark, made at Favier's in Auvergne, on our hand press at Cateau Chambrun in Nice, and in a regular run ofone hundred and twenty-five pieces numbered in words at the press shop, and twenty-five named pieces in calophone for Friends-bibliophiles, finishing the printing on Easter 1946. We made the cover and pastedowns according to the Author's drawings.
