He describes the conventional process print (“processed block”) as awkward: “I have felt myself rather hampered by certain limitates of the process. It is advisable to do the drawing a great deal larger than the illustration required; the lines have all to be quite black and drawn with a certain hardness and precision.” For a higher quality print for the large paper copies of his \u003cem\u003eEnglish Fairy Tales\u003c\/em\u003e he used Alfred (although he calls him William) Dawson’s Typographic Etching Co (where Emery Walker first learnt his trade), and he encloses one of those prints (not now present).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe suggests doing two designs, one for reproduction by Dawson, and one to be engraved on wood or steel. This is likely to be for a bookplate also, since he asks some further heraldic questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Maggs Bros.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47719041958045,"sku":"239174","price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/0045\/9677\/files\/IMG_1641.jpg?v=1773288119","url":"https:\/\/store.maggs.com\/products\/autograph-letter-signed-dear-sir-4pp-8vo-24-ekt969ub","provider":"Maggs Bros.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
