Short introduction by Enrico Tallone.

This booklet intends to gave a decisive contribution to bringing Da Milano’s masterpieces, for far too long unjustly neglected, back to the limelight.

This publication is housed in a slipcase, custom hand-made to an exact size, whose exteriors are covered with Ingres paper.

***

Neither monotype nor linotype are used. These typesetting systems from a keyboard are often passed off as manual typography. 

The Tallone Press does not print from plastic relief plates either. Derived from digital compositions, they are very much in vogue to simulate the effect of type impression onto the paper.

The number of movable types handled for the manual typesetting of this book, makes it an exceptional endeavor in contemporary fine printing.

Printed on very fine paper and sewn by hand, this collector’s edition is a sophisticated gift meant to last over time and designed to give the best reading experience possible.
