Further detail on Editioned Prints

Because of the uncertainties involved in producing a finely printed book, a considerable number of extra copies of each sheet must be printed in order to insure enough good copies of the book. As a consequence, “overrun” editions of some of the images are available in small quantities. These images were printed during the production of the "Large Paper" edition of Sylvæ, and were printed on a special making of Zerkall, a fine mould-made paper imported from Germany. This making of Zerkall was calendared at the mill to make as smooth a surface as possible. This printing surface allowed for a maximum of detail to be transfered from the surface of the wood specimen onto the paper. All Prints are numbered and signed.
