The fine handmade papers used for this production are of great quality and show no effects of aging whatsoever. The design type and paper selection is very pleasing to the senses. A scarce item and one of a very few printed and bound especially for Riviere and Son. Robert RiviÄre founded his bindery in Bath in 1829 and George Bayntun followed his example in 1894. In 1939 Bayntun bought RiviÄre and merged the two firms. Bayntun-RiviÄre is now the last of the great Victorian trade binderies still in family ownership and prides itself on continuing to bind entirely by hand. The Chiswick Press was founded by Charles Whittingham I 1867-1840. The management of the Press was taken oer in 1840 by the founder's nephew Charles Whittingham II 1795-1876. The name was first used in 1811 and the Press continued to operate until 1962. The Press had becme very influential in English printing and typography under Charles Whittingham II who most notably published some of the early designs of William Morris. The Chiswick Press deserves conspicuous credit for the reintroduction of quality printing into the trade in England when in 1844 it produced The Diary of Lady Willoughby set in the reign of Charles I.
