Colophon

A colophon, or "an inscription recording information relating to the circumstances of the production" of a printed book or the "emblem or device of a publishing house" can be seen within the beginning pages of Nicholas: A Manhattan Christmas Story. Located on the back side of the main title page, on the copyright page, is the publishing emblem of Knickerbocker Press in New York (see Figure 39).

Figure 39

The emblem, centered and located at the bottom of the page, is around one inch tall and is about half an inch wide. The emblem's design features a sailing ship on top of a crest-like shape which bears the words, "The Knickerbocker Press - New York".  Below this logo are the words, "Made in the United States of America".
