Description

Printers' Marks: A Chapter in the History of Typography

This text uses utf-8 (unicode) file encoding. If the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that the browsers character set or file encoding is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change your browsers default font. Page numbers in italics show the original location of illustrations. Those in bold italics were full-page illustrations. In the body text and the List of Illustrations, links lead to the specific illustration, not to its original location. The texts of most pictured Marks will appear in plain type if you hover your mouse over the picture. Expanded abbreviations are shown in [brackets]. Words split across line breaks are shown with or without hyphens, as originally printed. Texts that were too long or complicated to display in this way are collected at the end of the e-text. HERE are few phases of typography open to the charge of being neglected. An unquestionable exception occurs, however, in relation to Printers Marks. This subject is in many respects one of the most interesting in connection with the early printers, who, using devices at first purely as trade marks for the protection of their books against the pirate, soon began to discern their ornamental value, and, consequently, employed the best available artists to design them. Many of these examples are of the greatest bibliographical and general interest, as well as of considerable value in supplementing an important class of illustrations to the printed books, and showing the origin of several typical classes of Book-plates (Ex-Libris). The present Handbook has been written with a view to supplying a readable but accurate account of this neglected chapter in the history of art and bibliography; and it appeals with equal force to the artist or collector. Only one book on the subject, Berjeaus Early Dutch, German, and English Printers Marks, has appeared in this viii country, and this, besides being out of print and expensive, is destitute of descriptive letterpress. The principle which determined the selection of the illustrations is of a threefold character: first, the importance of the printer; secondly, the artistic value or interest of the Mark itself; and thirdly, the geographical importance of the city or town in which the Mark first appeared. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
