In the Dawn of the World: Being Twenty-Five Pictures Illustrative of a Portion of the Book of Genesis
Description
This volume by the Merrymount Press of Boston shows the appreciation for fine printing moving to North America. The illustrations, by Edward Burne-Jones, were originally intended for a large "Biblia Innocentium" to be published by the Kelmscott Press. They are paired with text from the beginning of the book of Genesis in both English and Latin. Daniel Updike, founder of Merrymount, credited the popularity of the Kelmscott Press for the success of his own work.
