(15)ff. From an edition of 160 copies, this is one of thirty-five deluxe, numbered copies with hand-illuminated initials in gold and colors by Suzanne Moore, one of America's finest scribes. This is the first miniature printing of this lyric, which was attributed to Shakespeare by an American scholar studying in England. Printed at the Firefly Press and bound by Barbara Blumenthal after a design by the noted bookbinder Donald Glaister. Very slight toning to spine, else fine in full blue leather, with purple onlays and gilt-stamping to both covers. A fine copy of this elegant miniature book, housed in a red cloth slipcase. (2 7/16 by 1 5/8; 62x40mm).
