In one, the printed area measures 14.1 x 17.1 cm. and the spacing between the "h" and "i" in the word "his" in the fifth line of the fifth stanza is greater than that between other contiguous letters. In the other, the printed area measures 13.6 x 17.1 cm. and the spacing between the "h" and "i" is normal. These variations might have occurred if the forme was loosened or tightened during printing. |
