Folio. (19)ff. A story entirely in woodblocks, executed and printed by Engelland, who marries word and image to relate an origin story of the roast pig as a delicacy deserving of the greatest gustatory interest. Engelland's bold blocks finely match the tenor of the tale, which situates the reader both literally and metaphorically in the field of action. A rare publication from the Press. Bound in quarter maroon leather with full red cloth over boards. Woodblock paper label to upper cover and gilt titling to spine, which shows some sunning and minimal rubbing at tail. Near fine, in a slipcase.
