1895 - James Vick Makes An Odd Decision


A charming decision to have a different colored ink on each page, but odd, and I wonder if his printer recommended it. And if he did, why!?  Wouldn't it be a real pain in the neck?  

I tried to figure out how it could be done assuming the pages go through the press 4 or 8 up.  Can't figure it out.  Perhaps it is printed one page at a time?  It is stapled from the top about a 1/4 inch in from the edge.

The ink colors, in my opinion, are a bad idea as they often clash with how I color the plant in my imagination.

Whatever the reason Vick did it, it is worth sharing!
