Lewis Allen described this astonishing production as "our most formidable and ambitious undertaking." The four poems by Goll had been separately published in France, each with original illustrations by an eminent artist. The editor, Francis Carmody, arranged for the translation of the difficult poems into English and wrote an introduction, as well as arranging for the Allens to meet Goll's widow in Paris to gain permission for the project. The paper and boxes were also acquired in Paris and the book printed by the Allens in Kentfield with their 1839 Acorn-Smith hand-press. The effort was, in Lewis Allen's words, "intricate and formidable," but the result was magnificent. Allen Press Biblio 25.
