The second booklet in this copy is identical to the first, but not numbered or signed and with frontispiece and caption directly printed onto the title-page verso (in the numbered/signed booklet the frontispiece is tipped in and the caption appears on an interleaved translucent sheet). In his essay on Reid, which starts the booklet, Strossi outlines the history (and mystery) of the publication of Reid's wood engravings for his wordless books, The Life of Christ in Woodcuts and The Song of Songs, and argues that, had it not been for the commercial failure of the latter, Reid would be discussed alongside the more famous names of his era and medium, Fritz Eichenberg and Lynd Ward.
