The Village Press / The Hollow Land
I don't think there is a more pronounced tribute in America to the bookmaking of William Morris, than The Hollow Land, printed by Fred and Bertha Goudy at The Village Press. The book had been started in Park Ridge, Ill. on Thanksgiving Day, 1903, but was not completed until October 1905, after the press had relocated to Hingham, Massachusetts. The fronticepiece drawing was by Walter J. Enright, and the book also contained a drawing in ink by Bror J. O. Nordfelt done with a toothpick. Of the edition of 220 copies, only about 85 survived the Parker Building fire in New York, January 10, 1908.
