TUDOR ENGLAND. 199 & 201 VAN BUREN ST., ST., LONDON, E.C, " " THERE has always been a demand for a first-class Single Large or Drum-Cylinder Press for the ordinary jobwork in city and country offices, which shall also print, at a rapid rate of speed, newspapers of moderate circulation. We have made heretofore what we called our Hand-Cylinder Machine ; but the labor of driving without steam power has proved too great in most cases. This place such as turn off the best class of job and new Press is intended not only to take the of machines, but, before stated, to stationery work. "We have combined in it our latest patents and improvements. The register is as perfect as can be obtained on any press of this description. There is a segment on the cylinder which gears into a rack on the bed during the impression. The delivery cylinder, with fingers, takes the sheet, conveying it to the fly without smutting the impression, and the necessity for tapes around the large cylinder is obviated. There are none. The air-spring gives an easy and noiseless motion to the bed, and the fly works without noise. The frame has been made with an eye to strength and solidity. In combines all that a large experience of years has make it efficient and short, this machine many suggested, to economical. All the gearing throughout is cut from the solid. The workmanship and material used in it are all of the highest quality. We guarantee this Press in all respects.. Our facilities are such that in making them as we do, a number at a time, we are able to put the price low. SIZES AND PRICES.

Not listed here are presses outside the accessioned collections, such as two Vandercook proof presses (a Model 4T and a Universal III) that are now earning an honest living in the office printing shop. At some future time, no doubt, they too will be retired into the collections. The Division of Graphic Arts was established in 1886 as a special kind of print collection with the purpose of representing “art as an industry.” For many years collecting was centered around prints, together with the plates and tools that made them. Not until the middle of the twentieth century did the Division begin to collect printing presses systematically. Even more recently, the scope of collecting has been broadened to include printing type and type-making apparatus.

Abstract Typesetting in the old style, with the corresponding types, besides being an art, is also a real pleasure. METAFONT allows the creation of faithful copies of these types and T&K gives the possibility of using them in the most traditional manner. In this spirit, the necessary fonts and macros to typeset in the Old German types: Gotisch (also called Textur), Schwabacher and F'raktur are presented in this paper, together with an historical introduction to each of them. Also, a set of initials is described. Rules for typesetting in these types are given, together with extracts from the original sources.

  • Lahor and Technology in the Book Trades
    The Quest for Autonomy and Discipline: Lahor and Technology in the Book Trades WILLIAM S. PRETZER JLHERE IS MUCH to be learned about the history of labor and technology in the book trades. There is also much to be learned/rom the history of labor and technology in the book trades. Understanding the production of printed goods and their components will not only help us understand the changing nature of demand, distribution, circulation, and impact of print, but these investigations will also increase our knowledge of general aspects of the American Industrial Revolution. Indeed, the history of the book trades should be seen as part of the larger history of American labor and technology. Much of this larger history is composed of the evolving character of conflict and conciliation in the workplace. And while the role of the plebeian classes as participants in the cul- ture of the printed word is a topic well worth exploring, the focus here is on the role of the producers of printed culture. Continuing through the third quarter of the nineteenth century, two themes stand out in this history. First is the quest for autonomy pursued by master artisans and capitalist employers in terms of their control over raw materials, product markets. This is a revised version of a paper presented at a needs-and-opportunities conference on the history of the book in American culture held at the American Antiquarian Society, November 1-3, 1984. I am grateful to Rollo G. Silver and Steven Rosswurm for their comments and to Kevin S. Baldwin for his research assistance.

The scripts of South Asia, which mainly derive from the Brahmi script, afford a visible voice to the numerous linguistic communities that form over one fifth of the world’s population. However, the transition of these visually diverse scripts from chirographic to typographic form has been determined by historical processes that were rarely conducive to accurately rendering non-Latin scripts. This essay provides a critical evaluation of the historical technological impacts on typographic textual composition in South-Asian languages. It draws on resources from relevant archival collections to consider within a historical context the technological constraints that have been crucial in determining the textural appearance of South-Asian typography.
