                            Comprising ‘The Master,’ ‘The Disciple,’ ‘The House of Judgement,’ ‘The Doer of Good’ and ‘The Artist’, all of which were originally published in the July 1894 issue of The Fortnightly Review (along with ‘The Teacher of Wisdom’).  The Crannog Press was a private press based at Sandown Road, Belfast.  According to Maggs Bros., it “issued  around  14  titles  from  1968  to  1978  and  was  run single-handedly by its  founder,  the  artist  and  teacher  Margaret McCord, who was greatly motivated by her teacher-training spell in Leicester, under the esteemed tutorage of Rigby Graham.  McCord  initially  used an Old treadle-operated Cropper Platen press, then graduated to a Heidelberg Automatic Platen. Having only one set of type, full-page texts were often commercially printed, usually by the Northern Whig Company in Belfast.” (Irish First Editions, Catalogue 1442).
