Wells, H.G.
The Treasure of the Forest
. New York: Press of the Woolly Whale. 1936. Typography, illustrations, decorations, and binding by dwiggins. One of 130 copies printed on handmade paper by the Press of the Woolly Whale. Six illustrations in the book were stencils done in multiple brilliant colors by Dwiggins, under the direction of Mwano Masassi (Dwiggins pseudonym), who also arranged the design of the type and ornaments. The colors were determined and mixed by Dr. Hermann Puterschein (another Dwiggins pseudonym). All three signed the colophon, among others. (See also File Box No. 1 for an advertisement and a letter about this book.) It was three years in the making. Each illustration is in pochoir or stencil, which required extensive hand color work, limiting the edition. -- Agner No. 36.16, 1937
