Description
One of 25 copies hand-printed in the mythical Officina Bodoni of Montagnola. Very intense, the Colophon, signed by Hans Mardersteig: "A journey, it would seem, is at the mercy of political factions; not so sentiment, which is the motive of all good journeys. In a sentiment of admiring affection for the heroic island where I hoped to journey - when railway wheels should move again - this greetings was printed with Giambattista Bodoni''s twelve point type "WEDGE", here used for the first time since his death". The booklet reproduces the chapter "In the Désobligeant".
