Bremer Press.- Homer. Poiesis: Ilias & Odysseia [graece], 2 vol., edited by Eduard Schwartz, each one of 615 copies on Zanders hand-made paper, titles by Anna Simons, text in Greek, notes in Latin, leather book-labels of Haven O'More, bound in vellum, gilt, by Frieda Thiersch at the Bremer Bindery, spines ruled and titled in gilt, t.e.g., others uncut, a fine copy in board slip-cases (a little rubbed and lacking top edges), folio, Munich, Bremer Press, 1923-24.

⁂ A magnificent set, one of only a few copies bound in vellum. The Bremer Press was founded in 1911 inspired by the Doves Press, and apart from the lettering and titles by Anna Simons, a pupil of Edward Johnston, the books similarly rely on no ornamentation but elegant design and impeccable printing.
