Printed by Updike at the Merrymount Press in an edition of 185 copies; this is an unnumbered copy outside the edition. A prefatory note by Philip Burne-Jones explains that these designs were intended for a large Kelmscott edition of the Bible, Biblia Innocentium, which was never finished. Lady Burne-Jones authorized Catterson-Smith (who had collaborated on the Kelmscott Chaucer) to translate Burne-Jones's drawings onto blocks, which were then photo-processed to produce the relief plates for this edition (it is felt that if they were hand-cut, the colophon or preface would have specified such).
