In 1926, Lettice, her son Michael, and printer, engraver and painter Maureen Patey Eyre Proudman established the Swan Press, listing the Walters' home address at 5 Swan Walk, Chelsea. The press published no new work, but reissued previously published material. The Sybil Campbell Library, which owns many of the books, notes that Swan Press “produced limited editions, usually of 100 numbered copies, in fine print, handset in a variety of typefaces by L.D.O. Walters and M.P. Eyre, hand pressed by H. Gage-Cole on handmade paper, bound by hand, examples of fine craftsmanship.” Margaret Roake writes, “Since the foremost aim of the Swan Press was the production of fine typography, there was no standard format to the volumes. Each came in a size, typeface and style appropriate to the particular subject.”Roake, Margaret (2005). "The Swan Press Collection." Sybil Campbell Library Monograph Number 4. Swan Press ceased publication with the memorial volume Michael for Michael H. H. Walters. Contributors to the memorial received a copy of Swan Press’s edition of Ten Fables by Robert Lewis Stevenson, illustrated by Rachel Russell (1928). Swan Press’s editions were presented to the Sybil Campbell Library in memory of Michael Heriot Huth Walters. According to the library, “no public repository has records of the Swan Press.”
