The Numbered edition of 310 copies is a full Japanese cloth binding with letterpress printed Hahnemühle Bugra labels on the front cover and spine. The cover label is a reproduction of a wood engraving by Thomas Bewick from 1797. Endsheets are illustrated featuring art by Gustave Doré. The edition is printed offset on archival Cougar Natural Smooth, a style of paper typical of the time period, and is housed in a black cloth covered slipcase with red cloth ends and a paper liner. The text paper is 60 lb. resulting in a reasonable bulk for the high page count. The edition is signed by Michael J. Deas and Kelley Hensing.
