Inscribed by Hunter on the free front endpaper to his friend Virginia Nye, and signed on the colophon by Hunter and Elmer Adler, the Pynson printer.Hunter wrote in his autobiography: "Mr. Adler and I would have preferred using Indian handmade paper for the text, but it was not suitable, being too uneven in thickness, texture and finish. We felt the Indians might resent the use of English-made paper, so . we decided upon Swedish handmade paper for both text and illustrations" (see My Life With Paper, p 208). He had no shortage of Indian paper, as this account of his visit to Kashmir indicates: "When the poverty-stricken papermakers were aware that we wished to purchase paper, they ran in all directions to their millhouses, each man returning with bundles of paper. . Each man wanted his paper to be used for specimens in my proposed book, and there was so much argument and controversy among the workers that we purchased all of the paper offered" (p. 181).
