Octavo. (xvi), xlviii pp. With an Introduction by Paul Valéry, and a title page woodcut by Gordon Craig. In designing this book, Bruce Rogers, at the age of 74, completed a plan made twenty-five years before. Inspired by the famous Pickering Euclid of 1847, he made sixty colored woodcut diagrams, and used Frederic Goudy's Deepdene Italic type. Goudy cut special characters, with flourishes, for "Q.E.D." and "Q.E.F." Faintest rubbing to corners and spine ends, else about fine in navy cloth with design in silver. In original slipcase which shows some wear.
