- Scope and Content:
- Set in 11-point monotype Baskerville and printed by Richard Clay at the Chaucer Press, Bungay, Suffolk. The illustrations consist of a frontispiece portrait of Addison and Steele and 30 wood-engraved head pieces [Bain nos. 85-115], one used at the opening of each essay. Shirley Smith also engraved a decorative rule, which is used beneath each head piece and on the title page. Bound by W. and J. Mackay in quarter brown buckram, marbled paper boards, green end papers. Brown slip case. This book project––Shirley Smith's first for The Folio Society––would presage his later career as the illustrator of fine limited editions; it was also his first major commission for a large number of his engravings. The year 1967 would prove to be a turning point in his career.
