Created by student docent Mikayla Tribble, this tour stop explores the works of poet Richard Barnfield (1574-1620).
In 1998, The Old Stile Press, a private press
in Wales, published The Affectionate
Shepheard with illustrations by Welsh artist Clive Hicks-Jenkins. The
edition of 200 copies was letterpress printed on paper made by Frances
McDowall. In 2001, Old Stile Press published an edition of Barnfield’s Sonnets, also accompanied by illustrations
by Clive Hicks-Jenkins. This edition was also limited to 200 copies.
Both of these modern printings are on display in the Hargrett Library's Signature Gallery beginning February 17, 2021.
