Daniel Press

The Daniel Press is interesting too for the works printed and published there, including reprints of little-known early-modern texts, major works by Keats, Milton and others, and original literature, including poetry by his friend Robert Bridges.

[3] In 1881 he printed The garland of Rachel by divers kindly hands to mark the first birthday of his daughter of that name.

Daniel persuaded many of the leading English poets of the day, including Bridges, Austin Dobson, Andrew Lang, John Addington Symonds, Lewis Carroll and Edmund Gosse to contribute.

He was also notable for using the Fell types,[4] and a number of historical ornaments, cast by Oxford University Press when these were considered unfashionable by most other printers and publishers.

Here they were used (by a team of compositors and pressmen borrowed from the University Press) to print an account of Daniel's life and work as a printer and man of letters, with an extensive bibliography written by Falconer Madan.
