Preferred Citation [Identification of item], Vance Gerry and the Weather Bird Press Archive, 1966-1992. William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, Los Angeles, California. Biography Born and raised in Pasadena, California, Vance Gerry was an apprentice at the Castle Press of Grant Dahlstrom as a teenager. He learned the basic principles of book design and how to set type by hand. First trained as a commercial artist at Woodbury College, Gerry later attended the Art Center for Design and the Chouinard Art Institute, where he used his G.I. Bill to pay for school. At Chouinard, he studied under Donald W. Graham, the renowned animation artist. In 1955, he worked at the Walt Disney Animation Studio as a layout and story sketch artist. He has contributed his ideas and drawings to films like Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, The Jungle Book, Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honey Tree, and The Sword in the Stone, and Beauty and the Beast. The last film he worked on at Disney was The Lion King. From 1967, Gerry operated the Weather Bird Press at various locations around Los Angeles. The press moved from Laguna Beach, where it was temporarily called the Peach Pit Press, to Fallbrook, and finally to Pasadena. He has used different presses and machines throughout the years: a Linotype machine, a Miehle vertical, a Vandercook press, and others. He also uses several different font types, some rarely seen in commercial printing presses. With his talent as an imaginative artist, he has illustrated most of his books with line drawings, linoleum cuts, and pochoir. He has also written and printed several books under the pseudonym of Bunston Quayles. Gerry died March 5, 2005 in Pasadena, California. Arrangement This inventory has been arranged in Gerry's original filing system by job envelope, then put in alphabetical order by title of book. In the case of personal letterhead printing, this has been arranged alphabetically by last name. Filed in folders, they contain the paperwork concerning the production of a particular book, preliminary designs, rejected proofs, galley proofs, paste-ups, dummies, and page proofs. In the following finding aid, a general description has been given about the contents of each box. Each folder heading contains a more detailed description of its contents. Oversized papers are stored in separate, larger boxes (box 9 & 10). Galley proofs are housed in a map drawer in the second annex. When requesting items, please state box number, folder number, and title. Scope and Content Finding Aid to Vance Gerry and Press coll.

Place and space are significant to the progress of all trades, but, with the exception of the James Raven’s Bookscape: geographies of printing and publishing in London, these concepts have generally been overlooked when it comes to printing and the products of the press.

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.

    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.

The speed and efficiency of printing was greatly improved through mechanization. This took several forms including: replacing wooden parts with metal ones, cylindrical printing, and stereotyping. The innovations of printing during the 19th century affected the way images were reproduced for illustrations as well as for type. These innovations were so influential on society because they greatly increased the ability to produce large quantities of work quickly. This was very significant for printers of newspapers, who were limited by the amount their press could produce in a short amount of time. Iron Printing Press One major step in improving the printing press was changing the parts from wood to metal.
