A Journal Of Carefree Days Around The World. Marburg was a progressive teacher and artist who worked primarly in watercolor. This book chronicles her rather poetic reminiscences of a voyage that nearly spanned the globe. The Oriole Press was established by Joseph Ishill. From 1916 until his death fifty years later, he published more than 200 books and pamphlets, all of them typeset and printed by hand. In spite of working in relative obscurity, he has been lauded both by radicals and the many printers who consider him one of the finest practitioners of hand printing and typography in the twentieth century.
