Nineteenth-century American Designers & Engravers of Type
Author: William Edward Loy
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
In 1896 William E. Loy, a San Francisco printing equipment salesman and scholar, had the idea of writing a series of profiles of type designers. Loy took a long view of history, and realized that it was important to document the men in the background who created the nineteenth century's fanciful types, even as the furiously competing type foundries got the credit for introducing them to the printing trade. His work was serialized in The Inland Printer over the next three years and included biographies, photographs of the artists, and lists of the type they had designed or cut, which Loy had painstakingly compiled through correspondence with the type founders and other craftsmen. Unfortunately, due to the technical limitations of a monthly periodical, it was not possible to show the typefaces mentioned. Finally here is the work as Loy envisioned it, with over 800 illustrations of typefaces designed by the craftsmen he discusses. Loy traces their personal stories adding much incidental detail about the politics & business practices of the time and the innovations of each of these thirty men. Now, a century later, typographical historians Alastair Johnston and Stephen Saxe have realized Loy's vision, fully illustrated and annotated. This is one of the first reference books on nineteenth-century American type design, and as such is an important addition to typographical history.
