The Encantadas - Grabhorn Press

A very nicely printed, and solidly bound book, with initials and illustrations by Mallette Dean. Printed by the Grabhorn Press, but published by William P. Wreden in 1940.

Questions, if anyone here knows:

1. How were the illustrations reproduced?

2. What paper and printing types were used?

3. Are the speckles in the quarter-linen binding original, or just a common discoloration/foxing? (My copy is in wonderful condition, otherwise.)

4. Was the book originally presented in a slip-case? (My copy has none.)

Here is the description for that book in the Grabhorn bibliography (vol 1):

Thanks, getting there!
Now I know a bit about the type and paper.
The illustrations are still a bit of a mystery. They don’t feel to have been printed via any mechanical process like wood block or lithography.
wcarter, is the linen on your copy speckled?

Very lightly, yes.

Thanks for this post, I've passed on purchasing this edition due to the speckling/foxing. Sounds like this is common for this book.
