Octavo. (10)ff. Each sheet, held loosely, is a broadside featuring one of Siegl's woodcuts in black, and an excerpt from a prayerbook in red. Title page and colophon likewise with woodcuts, and likewise with type printed in red; these are bound in to green paper wrappers, which boast four further woodcuts. Designed, set, and bound by Claire Van Vliet, in the era of the Press before its move to Vermont. Modest shelf-toning and glancing bumps to corners, else near fine. (Lehrer p. 35-36)
