A colophon (from the Greek meaning ‘summit’ or ‘finishing touch’) is often employed in many private press books to give a brief statement on the publication of a book such as the place of publication, the publisher, the date of publication, and often issue numbers. Printed using Lydian italics, Mark Lansburgh’s colophon gives such details, including the consumption of a Thanksgiving dinner. The book of poetry once belonged to Lloyd K. Neidlinger (1902-1978), a Dartmouth College football player who was Class of 1923, and later Dean of the College, 1934-1952.
