Octavo plain green sewn wrappers 8 pp. Fine.”In 1893 only a year after William Morris had issued the Golden Legend in which his Golden Type first appeared 33-year-old Daniel Berkeley Updike left eh Riverside Press in Cambridge and set up his own establishment as a Typographic Advisor at 6 Beacon Street Boston. From his two-room office Updke wrote to Morris on August 3 1893. The manuscript archives of Updike correspondence in the Huntington Library reveal no further exchange between them.
