PAN'S PIPES
By Robert Louis Stevenson
Riverside Press Edition of 550 numbered copies, 500 for sale. Small 16mo.
There are few more charming essays in modern letters than Stevenson's characteristic whimsical discourse which he has entitled "Pan's Pipes," a faithful rendering of that pagan spirit which is eternal in the human heart. The delicacy and classic air of the essay has made it seem a peculiarly fit subject for exquisite typographical treatment. In this edition, Mr. Bruce Rogers has given it an embodiment of simple neo-classic charm which leaves little to be desired. The little book consists of 18 pages printed from type on a special quality of Italian hand-made paper and decorated with medallions of fauns and satyrs adapted from old engraved gems. The binding is of brilliant red paper on thin boards, stamped with a representation of a maze, also taken from an old gem.
