Preferred Citation: [Identification of item/Title of folder], Grabhorn Letterpress Printing Ephemera Collection (BASC 1), Book Arts & Special Collections, San Francisco Public Library. Custodial History: Ephemera has been part of Book Arts & Special Collections since 1925 when William Randolph Young, a library trustee, was instrumental in establishing the Max Kuhl Collection of rare books and manuscripts, after the destruction of the Library’s collection in the 1906 earthquake and fire. Through generous donations and purchases, ephemeral matter was filed into the collection until November 17, 1965 when The Grabhorn Collection on the History of Printing & the Development of the Book was officially presented to the San Francisco Public Library. The Collection contained not only books but single leaves of ephemera printed before the 20th Century, some of which were by significant printers of the 15th and 16th Centuries. City Librarian, William Holman, hailed the acquisition of printer Robert Grabhorn’s personal library as the single most important collection ever to come to the library at one time. Library Commissioner Edward Callanan reported being happy this great collection will be available for public use in a public library, particularly because the printing industry historically has been so important to the development of the City. The ephemera collection is now known as The Grabhorn Letterpress Printing Ephemera Collection. From an early age Robert Grabhorn began collecting the works of printers, with an emphasis on French and Italian printers, type specimens, and books on the subject of hot metal printing, and realized that his collection should remain in San Francisco as a teaching collection. Since its acquisition by the Library, the collection has grown to become one of the most important of its kind. It includes examples of almost every major printer, typographer, and bookmaker since Gutenberg’s time, with the allied fields of bookbinding and papermaking represented as well. Scope and Contents: The collection consists of letterpress ephemera representing over 1,770 printers and presses from all over the world, but predominately from the San Francisco Bay area collected by the San Francisco Public Library. The collection ranges in date from 950 CE to the present, with the bulk of the materials dating from 1890-present. Represented in the collection is a variety of printers, including several printers from incunabula period (pre-1500 in Europe), and items printed in Asia, Europe, and North America. The bulk of the collection contains a large selection of printers and presses from the United States, especially California of the 20th and 21st centuries. The range of materials include single leaf specimens, prospectuses, postcards, stationary, business cards, job printing and thin/accordion fold books from Europe and the Americas, with a few examples of Oriental printing. Some of the printers and presses represented include: The Song Dynasty, The Yuan Dynasty, Johann Gutenberg, Johann Fust & Peter Schoeffer, Anton Sorg, Erhard Radolt, Anton Koberger, Johann Zainer, Gunther Zainer, Aldus Manutius the Elder, Aldus Manutius the Younger, Nicolas Jenson, Henri Estienne II, Robert Estienne, William Blake, 18th century Broadside Ballads and Chapbooks, Joachin Ibara, Agustin B. Zamorano and José de la Rosa, Benjamin Franklin, Isaiah Thomas, Thomas Bewick, John Henry Nash, Bruce Rogers, Robin Price, and Peter Koch. Some of the presses included are: The Aldine Press, The Plantin Press, The Kelmscott Press, The Ashendene Press, The Vale Press, The Doves Press, The Eragny Press, The Daniel Press, The Golden Cockerel Press, The Grabhorn Press, The Grace Hopper Press, The Merrymount Press, The Greenwood Press, The Peregrine Press, The White Rabbit Press, The Press in Tuscany Alley, The Gehenna Press, The Perishable Press, The Yolla Bolly Press, The Arion Press, The Ninja Press, The Moving Parts Press, The Ward Ritchie Press, and The Turkey Press.

CARMICHAEL WATSON BLACKIE & SON LIMITED LONDON AND GLASGOW 1934 f7 \ o, !SSl f' Printed in Great Britain by Blackie & Son, Ltd., Glasgow Orain agus Luinneagan Gàidhlig le Màiri nighean Alasdair Ruaidh Preface The scarcity of published Gaelic literature, which is one of the chief factors adversely affecting the spoken language, is strikingly illustrated by the fact that the present book is not only the first edition but even the first complete collection of the surviving songs of the poetess of Harris and Skye. She is probably the best of our minor Gaelic bards, and she has been dead for two centuries and a quarter; yet her songs have remained scattered in various scarce books, and only four of them have hitherto been edited. How much of her works is lost to us we can only guess; this book contains all that is known to survive. Circumstances have constrained me to try to meet three needs, the needs of the Gaelic reader, of the Eng- lish reader, and of the schools. In special regard to the first and last, it may be said that the text has been formed on principles stated elsewhere, that the spelling conforms to correct modern standards, and that the apostrophe has been kept strictly in control.

  • THE TWO HUNDREDTH BOOK American Institute of Graphic Arts’ Annual Fifty Books of the Year
    THE TWO HUNDREDTH A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BOOKS PUBLISHED BY THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA 1958–1993 BY ROBERT D. HARLAN 1993 THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA PREFACE HE CLUB’S FIRST BOOK was published in 1914 and the one hundredth book forty-four years later. These books are described in David Magee’s The Hundredth Book, a Bibliography of the Publications of the Book Club of California & a History of the Club (1958). In this sequel of the second hundred books Magee’s method of bibliographical description has been retained with some modifications. In the title page transcriptions the text is in roman capital letters. Line endings are indicated with a vertical line, and the terms device, decoration and illustration are used to indicate printer’s device, and non-representative and representative im- ages. Measurements are height by width of the page to the eighth of an inch. Inferred pagination is provided in parentheses—roman for preliminary material and arabic for text. Preliminary leaves for which pagination cannot be inferred are listed in the contents note but are not included in the pagination count. The use of colors in printing and lettering is indicated. The generic term illustrations encompasses such material as facsimiles, maps, drawings and sketches, photographs and photographic reproduc- tions, woodcuts, linoleum cuts and engravings, and plates. The text type and the method of composition are identified as in Magee. But to the processes he describes— hand set, monotype, linotype, intertype—are added linotronic, phototype and, more recently, computer composition. Paper identification falls into three categories: hand- made, mold made and machine made.
