Inland Type Foundry

Die Firma wurde 1894 in St. Louis gegründet durch die Söhne (William, Oswald und Carl jr.) von Carl Schraubstadter, Teilhaber der Central Type Foundry, die 1892 zur American Type Founders kam. Das erste Musterbuch erschien 1895. In dieser Firma wurde die American Standard Line von Nicholas Joseph Werner entwickelt. Sie bildete das Vorbild für die Deutsche NormalSchriftlinie, die durch Genzsch & Heyse in Deutschland eingeführt wurde. Im Jahre 1911 wurde die Firma von der American Type Founders Comp. übernommen. Einige Schriften kamen zu Barnhart Bros. & Spindler, Chicago, die sie teilweise umbenannten, um sie dann in ihr Schriftprogramm aufzunehmen.

Oak Knoll Special Catalogue No. 19 1 OAK KNOLL BOOKS 310 Delaware Street, New Castle, DE 19720

Oak Knoll Special Catalogue No. 19 1 OAK KNOLL BOOKS www.oakknoll.com 310 Delaware Street, New Castle, DE 19720 Oak Knoll Books has handled many examples of type specimen catalogues over the years. One would think that interest in old books showing type faces would have gone by the wayside long ago but nothing could be further from the truth. I was recently give a book by Tony Cox, a bookseller friend of mine, for bedside reading while I was visiting him in England and found the stories of type and their development fascinating (Simon Garfield. Just My Type). For those of you who have seen the film Helvetica you can relate to the impact type faces have on our lives. We are now offering you a selection of interesting specimen books and booklets that might inspire those of you doing design work or educate those of you that are doing research. And go back and reread McGrew’s American Metal Type Faces of the 20th Century and Annenberg’s Type Foundries of America and Their Catalogues (both Oak Knoll Press publications) for their invaluable information (see last page of our catalogue for more details). Happy hunting! Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books.

In the earliest romans, the serifs were inclined and bracketed, that is to say, the Antique Extended No. 53 Cheltenham Craw Modern MacFarland Italic underpart of the serif was connected to the stem in a curve or by a triangular piece.

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.

Skyline Type Foundry Specimen Book & Catalog

Skyline Type Foundry Specimen Book & Catalog Specimen Size 3.50 wide; check Keep Ratio Arboret No. 2 Price Code: 12pt 12-A 7-1 H 24pt 5-A 4-1 H Ornament Suite 245 Pieces L This florid face was patented February 12, 1885, by the MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan Co. It was only made three sizes, of which we present two. The matrices are from Charles Broad's antique revival in the 1960s. The specimen shown is 24pt. The 12pt font includes the same 46 characters plus pound sterling. There was a total of thiry-one (31) ornamental elements designed for exclusive use with Arboret No. 2, in the exceedingly elaborate style then fashionable. Each of the three type sizes (12, 18, 24) was furnished with a selection of seventeen of these—some ornaments were specific to a single point size font, and some common to all sizes. The set of matrices created by Charlie Broad includes nineteen ornaments. These consist of eleven of the original seventeen furnished with 12pt fonts, and fourteen of seventeen for the 24pt. We have done a comprehensive search of the Skyline matrix vault and selected substitutes for three of the missing elements. This brings the count up to all seventeen for the 24pt, and fourteen of seventeen for 12pt. At left is a form composed with both size fonts and the ornamentation, to illustrate how they are intended to be used together to re-create that over-the-top Victorian era typography. Please note that certain of the ornaments function as word spaces, so although they are sold separately, we recommend getting an ornament suite if either font is purchased.
The Inland Type Foundry, 1894-1911

The Inland Type Foundry, 1894-1911 T HE Inland Type Foundry opened its doors on 2 January 18941 at 217-219 Olive Street in Saint Louis,2 and for seven- DO teen years it was one of the most successfulenterprises the industry had ever known. It was established by three sons of Carl Schraub- stadter (1827-97), who had been one of the owners of the old Cen- tral Type Foundry in the same city. The three sons were William A. Schraubstadter (1864-1957), Oswald Schraubstadter (1868- 1955) and Carl Schraubstadter, Jr. (1862-1947), and they were president, vice-president, and secretary and general manager, re- spectively, of the new venture. According to Henry Lewis Bullen,3 the Inland Type Foundry probably never would have come into existence if the Central Type Foundry had not been sold to the American Type Founders Com- pany in 1892. * William Schraubstadter, then only twenty-eight years old, was superintendent of his father's foundry at the time it was sold to the new combination. (A narrow policy prevented his retention in that position, and so the services of the best typefoun- der of these times were lost and a formidable competitor created.'3 Many years later Nicholas J. Werner4 recalled that William had operated a punch-cutting machine as early as 1882 in his father's foundry, and credited the young man with being one of the first to carry out direct engraving of matrices with such a machine, al- though Bullen5 wrote that the machine (lacked precision and re- quired to be supplemented by hand work'.
