The regular edition was printed in seven colors on Ruisdael paper and bound in suede. For both editions, the title page and text initials were designed by W. W. Denslow and were first used in the September 10 1899 Rubaiyat, McKenna #50.The title page and colophon seen above although Denslow designed were modified for the square format of this book by John Comstock. These designs are both taller and narrower than the Denslow originals and lack his seahorse signature as seen in the 1899 design.----cf.
