About This Item

Biting Dog Press. Fine. (2012). First Edition. Hardcover. These hand-printed broadsheets were made in celebration of the wedding of Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer. The poem was written by Neil Gaiman about the night before their wedding. 50 unique folios only (of which this is one) contain two versions of the same broadsheet: a proof copy and the final edition that were printed in a limited edition of 250. The typefaces used are Granjon, Dyer, Willow and You Murderer. The embossing was done from polymer plates that were mounted type high and then squeezed through the press by hand. The paper is acid free 250 gm archival Rising Stonehenge. The wood engravings are incised on end grain maple and were made by George A. Walker who also designed and hand-printed the whole project. Beautifully bound in folding faux leather covers with blindstamping. In a matching slipcase also stamped in blind. Each broadsheet is signed by Gaiman and the artist, Walker. All in nearly new condition but for a few minor scuffs to the slipcase. ; Folio 13" - 23" tall; Signed by Author & Illustrator .
