The Private Press Tradition in Lexington, Kentucky Burton Milward The history of printing extends far into Lexington's past, beginning on 11 August 1787 when John Bradford, a versatile man with no previous printing experience, produced the first issue of The Kentucke Gazette.1 Kentucky then was a part of Virginia and would not become a state for five years. The town of Lexington was but eight years old, and it had fewer than 500 residents. Nevertheless, the people of Lexington and of Kentucky were hungry for news and for books. In January of the next year, 1788, Bradford advertised books for sale at the Gazette office-"Spelling books, ABC, books with the shorter catechism," and Poor Will's Almanac for 1788. In the fall and winter of that year, a half-dozen Lexington merchants advertised for sale extensive stocks of books, imported from Philadelphia, as were practically all the goods they sold.

Coming between known second-century writings of Greek authors on papyrus and fourth-century biblical codices, it is considered to be an important link in the evolution of the book in Western literature.

  • Sa Chronology Of
    s A Chronology of Typographical Pantographs Dr. David M. MacMillan Abstract The history of the development and use of pantographic techniques in the making of metal printing type has never been recounted either com- prehensively or accurately. This is a first step, necessary but necessarily incomplete: a raw chronology of events, together with references to the sources of our knowledge. 1 ◆ Introduction While it is beyond question that the mechanization of the making of punches, patrices, and matrices for metal letterpress printing types in the late 19th century was one of the most important events in the history of type, most accounts of this are inadequate. They tend to oversimplify both history and technology and to reduce a complex technological transition to a myth of a lone genius. Moreover, most narratives today are seriously in- accurate in their details and their understanding of the technologies. They conflate different methods of type-making and often leave out important methods entirely. As a result, this is perhaps the least well understood of all of the technological transformations that have shaped our world. This chronology is not a complete analysis of this history; it’s justa first step. It lays out all of the presently known events in this history in order to provide a better, and better documented, context. It also identifies events which are still recounted as a part of this history but which never really happened. This Chronology also includes non-typographical pantographs, partic- ularly in its early sections. The purpose of this is to counter the tendency in typographical history to see the adaptation of pantographic technology to metal type-making as something that happened in isolation.
