Designed by the author and printed by the Meriden Gravure Co., this is an alphabetical Pantheon of great printers and their contribution to the history of printing. A latter-day calligraphic model book, it is a tribute to the alphabet and the revival of letter forms.
Includes 27 full-page designs of initial letters adapted from the 1460 edition of Johannes Balbus's Catholicon, attributed to Gutenberg.
Illustrated lining papers.
