A representative title in the body of work from Seattle's preeminent fine-press printer, Frank McCaffrey, who operated alternately as the Dogwood Press or simply under "Frank McCaffrey" as the imprint. McCaffrey's book design is usually marked by either a lingering, perhaps outdated, element of Victoriana, using colored paper and floral effect to a nostalgic fault, or an enthusiastic, and often accomplished, embrace of art deco design. The streamlined cover illustration on this collection is of the latter. An early production by the Dogwood Press.
