FAIRFIELD JAPAN.

Mittineague, Mass. Strathmore Paper Company (1912) Small quarto. (34) ff. A catalogue of Fairfield Japan paper samples from the famed Strathmore Paper Company. The samples vary in weight, color, and finish, and each is printed with a combination of text and illustration in both black and white and color to show off its properties. Founded in 1892 at the Mittineague Paper Mill near Springfield, Massachusetts, Strathmore was for a time closely associated with Will Bradley's Wayside Press, operating alongside the Press in the same mill and employing Bradley to design a new line of deckle-edged paper. Issued in Strathmore's early days, this catalogue is a charming artifact of a company that is still in operation today. Bound in illustrated wrappers of stiff, heavyweight parchment that show minor soiling and toning. Also very light foxing to rear endleaves. The paper samples themselves are remarkably well preserved, a testament to their quality. Housed in the original paper chemise in which the catalogue was mailed, which bears a seven-cent stamp and a label addressed to Edward Frey at the Garden Press in New York.
