"This is a keepsake of A Quiet Afternoon at the Herity Press ... honoring Alan Fern and James M. Wells, on Sunday, September 27 1981, in conjunction with the Sixth Annual Conference of the American Printing History Association, at Columbia University. It was the basic issue of the Conference - the often-argued virtues of craft printing versus mechanized and now electronified printing - that prompted the "statements" on the other side of this sheet, by Ben Lieberman, who is Herity's co-proprietor with his wife, Elizabeth."

"This side of the keepsake was printed in advance by the Herity Press, handfed on a powered C&P. The other side of this keepsake was printed personally by a participant in the Quiet Afternoon, on the Kelmscott/Goudy press ... an Albion handpress first owned by William Morris to print the heavy signatures of his Kelmscott Chaucer ... Pat Taylor ... designed the keepsake and set it into type, using Tell Text (an ATF copy of Morris's Chaucer, revived by the Smithsonian and Taylor) for the "Morris statement" and Goudy's Kennerley for his, with Goudy's Village No. 2 for the rest of the copy. The paper is handmade Tovil from Hayle Mill, in Maidstone ..."
