William Lewis Washburn, owner of the
Palmetto Press, published a miniature
newspaper as a young boy in Connecticut
in the 1870s. Later he became associated
with a newspaper and his languished
hobby, playing with toy presses,
turned into a "typus fever" again. His
first productions breathe an Arts and
Crafts air, where his later miniatures
attracted attention. The Palmetto Press
actually dates from 1875 but it wasn't
until 1900 that the press came into being.
Washburn produced three mini Omars:
The Pots. A cry to God, 1935, Chess,
the game of life, 1936 and Wine songs
from Omar Khayyam, 1936
