Beskrivning
Macmillan, London 1972. 566 pages. + 16 plates. Original red cloth, top edge stained red, minor chipping to the dust jacket, otherwise as new. Illustrated.
The standard biography of one of the most influential and greatest typographs in the 20th century. “Morison found typography without organized history or principles: he left it with both, and in addition a substantial body of work exemplifying them. The future is unlikely to dispute the size of this achievment”. From the last chapter, ‘Conclusion’.
This book is a page turner. I read in in a week. Thank you Mr. Barker!
Set in Bembo – Stanley Morison’s favourite type face – and printed at the University Press, Cambridge. (Appleton 380).
