  • Sir Emery Walker 117
    sir emery walker 117 Sir Emery Walker Onzichtbaar hoofdrolspeler in de private press beweging, grafisch ondernemer, boekhistoricus sjaak hubregtse Inleiding Emery Walker (1851–1933) is een begrip – althans voor enkele bibliofielen en boekhistorici. Hij speelde een cruciale rol bij de belangrijkste Britse en con- tinentale private presses – Kelmscott Press, Ashendene Press, Doves Press, Cranach Presse – en heeft ook als grafisch ondernemer, docent en adviseur grote invloed gehad op de kwaliteit van typografie, illustraties en car- tografie – en toch is hij een grote onbekende. Of, zoals dat in het Engels zo mooi heet, een unsung hero. In bijna elke aan hem gewijde publicatie of passage stuiten we op uit- spraken als de volgende: • Emery Walker, ‘who, during a practical experience of well over fifty ye- ars, has done more for the finest printing than any other man living’ (Newdigate, p.63); •‘the pervading authority of Emery Walker, the Spiritual Father of the Revival of Fine Printing...’ (Avis, p.33); •‘the man who (as every one but himself would admit) has been the mo- ving spirit in most of the good and scholarly ventures in modern English typography’ (Updike, ii,p.211); •‘a significant, if elusive character’ (Franklin 1973, p.vii); •‘one of the most versatile designers, and one of the best typographic scholars, ever to work in England.’ (Chappell, p.225); 118 sjaak hubregtse sir emery walker 119 •‘his name is known and honoured by printers the world over’ (Hornby, p.8); • ‘It is scarcely too much to say that his influence, direct or indirect, can be discerned in nearly every well-designed page of type that now appears, and that to him, more than to any other man this century’s great impro- vements in book production has been due’ (Cockerell, p.886); •Walker, ‘it could be argued, is the most unjustly neglected figure in the history of modern British printing’ (Peterson 1992, p.3) •‘Abiographer is needed for Sir Emery Walker more badly than for any other figure in the printing history of the period’ (Ruari McLean).

Cobden-Sanderson famously threw the types and matrices of the Doves Press into the River Thames at Hammersmith Bridge. This act, which had been in his mind for some six years was illegal as the types were the property of his former partner Emery Walker. After his death, in 1922 the matter led to a protracted lawsuit with his widow Annie which, after the intervention of friends, was finally settled out of court. The whole saga of the ‘Doves Face Roman’ was a curious episode in the English Arts and Crafts movement. William Morris’s ‘Golden’ type lay treasured in the British Museum, Charles Ricketts’ ‘Vale’ and ‘Avon’ types already rested upon the bottom of the Thames at Hammersmith and no one has ever made an attempt to recover those, but the Doves types, just like the Doves Bindery bindings, were venerated perfect.

  • William Morris
    John Ruskin The writer and art critic inspired the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Ruskin saw mass- produced goods as “cheap and nasty.” His philosophy was that beautiful things were valuable and industrialization stifles creativity. William Morris became the leader of the Arts and Crafts Movement — an artist and textile designer, he rejected the poor quality mass productions of the Industrial Revolution. William Morris Born into wealth, he had his architect friend Philip Webb build The Red House for him and his wife. William Morris He was disappointed in the poor quality of manufactured furniture at the time so he began to design his own. He is best known for his intricately detailed patterns and designs for fabrics and textiles. William Morris He spent several years designing the furniture, tapestries and stained glass windows for Red House. William Morris Established his first art-decorating firm in 1861 devoted to craftsmanship and quality. William Morris designed from a love of nature and an admiration for art from the 15th century. William Morris was deeply concerned over problems associated with factories and industrialization. A socialist, Morris believed that when artists and craftsmen combine to make beautiful objects … workers would find joy in their work again. Morris was appalled by the proliferation of signboards and posters all across the rural countryside and false claims on packages and ads. Morris founded the Society for Checking the Abuses of Public Advertising to regulate their claims. Morris founded the Society for Protection of Ancient Buildings in 1877.
