Excerpt from Printing Types, Their History, Forms, and Use, Vol. 1: A Study in Survivals
Printing in the Graduate School of Business Ad ministration of Harvard University, during the years 1911 1916, and since then I have recast the material into a form suitable fbr publication. Each season that the talks were given I saw the necessity for amplification and abridgment of mat ter, and fbr modification of judgment, the results of which have been incorporated in these volumes; and now that my task is finished, I realize that further emendations could be continued with profit almost indefinitely. But while such a boo/c can never, in any strict sense, be complete, it must be completed, though even the measure of perfection hoped for may not have been reached. It has been written in town and in country, amid the interrup tions of business and in intervals of leisure - and in timeof war and tumults that at moments made its subject, and all like subjects, seem trivial and valueless.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a journey through the fascinating world of printing types, exploring their history, forms, and use. The author delves into the origins of printing, examining the invention of movable metal types and the crucial role of Gutenberg in perfecting the process. We learn how early printers, in their quest to emulate the beauty of handwritten manuscripts, inadvertently influenced the development of typographic forms. Through detailed analysis of manuscript styles and their impact on type design, the author reveals how the pursuit of realism led to a rich diversity of letterforms that would endure for centuries. We are introduced to the world of type cutting and casting, gaining insights into the techniques used to create individual characters, from the early hand-moulds to the punch-cutting machines of a later era. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of type design, tracing its development across different regions and time periods. We encounter the distinct characteristics of early German, Italian, French, and English types, each reflecting the artistic sensibilities of its era. The book illuminates the interplay between typography and other art forms, suggesting that type design, like furniture or architecture, often mirrored the prevailing aesthetic trends of the time. By engaging with the monumental characters of early typography, readers gain a fresh perspective on the typographic landscape of today, appreciating the evolution of printing as a sophisticated art form. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781333615888_0
