Description: "Two Plays for Puritans" by George Bernard Shaw features "The Devil's Disciple" and "Caesar and Cleopatra," along with the author's preface and notes. George Him contributes over seventy line and wash drawings, including fifteen full-page illustrations hand-colored by pochoir in Walter Fischer's studio. Mr. Him, the book's designer, opts for twelve-point English Monotype Plantin type with two points of leading. Westcott & Thomson in Philadelphia handles the composition, and the printing occurs in Bloomfield, Connecticut, at the Sign of the Stone Book. The page size is 7 x 11 3/4 inches, spanning 274 pages. The text and illustrations are printed on cream-wove paper specially manufactured by the Curtis Paper Company of Newark, Delaware. The endleaves, in a nugget-gold hue, are of Tweedweave, and the book is bound in bright red vellum book-cloth stamped in black and gold leaf, featuring a dramatic design by George Him.
