about
According to Arthurian legend, King Pellinore obsessively
hunted but never captured the elusive Questing Beast. In Le
Morte d’Arthur, Sir Thomas Malory describes a fabulous monster
with “…a head like a serpent’s head, and a body like a leopard,
buttocks like a lion, and footed like an hart; and in his body there was such
a noise as it had been the noise of thirty couple of hounds questing…”
We are dedicated to the creative exploration of the art and craft of printing. Like King Pellinore, we rigorously pursue our vision.
