"One hundred forty copies of this book have been printed [by Henry Morris] at the Bird & Bull Press in February 2007. The illustration used on the title page and elsewhere is derived from Emblem 132. The chapter head illustrations are reduced images of Emblems 1, 3, and 118. The text was composed in Dante types by Michael Bixler and printed on Frankfurt mould-made paper. The book was bound by Campbell Logan Bindery."--Colophon.
The eight new emblems were executed as wood engravings by Wesley Bates.
The original leaves included in each copy of the book are taken from the 1589 Paris ed. of Alciati's Omnia Andreae Alciati v.c. emblemata.
"This is one of eight copies with additional leaves, with one of the original wood engravings"--Colophon.
