Roman Numeral

Printed in two colours on a Heidelberg Windmill letterpress by the master printers at Nomad Letterpress (Cheltenham, UK) on a bespoke handmade paper by the Paper Foundation in Burneside, UK. The endpapers are handmarbled pieces to complement the design of the bindings. Inside the book there is a remarque hand-drawn by the artist Marc Simonetti.

This edition is fully bound in finest harmattan leather which has been hand dyed and coloured by the expert craftspeople at Ludlow Bookbinders. The cover and spine feature hand finished, CNC-cut brushed black metal elements that have been inset into the leather.

The head and tailband have been hand sewn in a complex colour design to mirror the patina and scheme of the book leather. The spine has been hand rounded using ancient techniques and the book edges have been gilded copper, hand-distressed and painted with Verdigris to give a weathered effect.

Housed in a handmade marble box by master stonecarver Nick Roberson and lined by Ludlow Bookbinders. The four pillar design as well as the Howler sigil and text on the lid has been hand carved by Roberson himself as well as the Howler sigil and text on the lid. Across all four sides of the box is hand carved lettering in Latin which translates to “I would have come in peace, but my enemies brought me war”.
