Matrix Index 8/21/03 9:28 AM Page 1 Matrix Index 8/21/03 9:28 AM Page 1 Introduction This index and list of the contents of Matrix issues 1-21 is designed to open up access to the wealth of information within the 5000 pages of text, illustrations and specimens in Matrix. PART ONE: CONTENTS LISTS reprints the list of contents of each issue of Matrix to avoid the need to refer to individual issues. Contributions on unnumbered pages are shown by ‘opp.’ [opposite] before the page number they follow. The number of copies printed of each issue is recorded as stated in the colophon. PART TWO is an alphabetical name, title and subject index to Matrix. It cumulates previous indexes and includes many additional references. Entries are provided for: authors of articles titles of articles (with initial capitals for most words) artists and illustrators names of presses, typefaces, papers, printers and personalities mentioned titles of books (in italic) reviewed or discussed more than in passing subjects (non-typographical subjects are indexed more selectively) Using the alphabetical index Entries have been made whenever there is sufficient information to warrant looking up the reference. Names and books referred to in passing have normally been omitted. The annual reviews of private press books are indexed under the name of the press, unless only the printer’s name is given; individual titles are indexed separately whenever there is sufficient discussion to justify it. All books reviewed in the Book Reviews section or elsewhere are indexed separately. References to wood-engravers and wood-engraving are listed both under that heading and engraver’s name. Typefaces are found under their individual names, while papers and printing presses are indexed by maker, name or kind and under ‘Paper’ or ‘Printing presses’. The indexing of twenty-one volumes of Matrix produces lengthy lists of references for some entries, but the largest have been subdivided for ease of consultation. Entries for contributors to Matrix who are also the subject of other references are divided into contributions by and references about them. The number of subject headings has been considerably expanded for this index, and over 500 appear within the index, though they are less visible than name and title entries. Many Matrix articles are about letterpress printing or are relevant to book design, but references under those headings are confined to specific discussions of the topics. One of the special features of Matrix is the inclusion of original illustrations, mostly wood-engravings printed from the wood, which are indexed under the illustrator’s name and marked with an asterisk *. When individual titled prints are discussed, they can be found under title (in italic), with the name of the engraver. Abbreviations within entries have been used very sparingly. The names of two publishers have been shortened in some cases: certain Golden Cockerel Press titles are identified by (GCP), while Oxford University Press publications use (OUP). References to the front and back covers of issues are abbreviated to fc and bc, while dw indicates the dust-wrapper. Arrangement The index is arranged in word-by-word order, i.e. wood-engravings before woodblocks. Hyphenated terms are treated as separate words, while apostrophes, prefixes like Sir or Lady, and initial words such as ‘the’ or ‘an’ (and their 1 Matrix Index 8/21/03 9:28 AM Page 2 INTRODUCTION equivalents in other languages) are ignored for the purposes of arrangement. Mac and Mc are both treated as Mac and interfiled. Entry terms that are abbreviations or sets of initials (such as Mr or ICI) are normally filed as if they are complete words in their own right (so Mr follows Mo), but St and numbers are arranged as if spelt in full (so 25 appears under T as Twenty-five). Titles incorporating initials appear at the beginning of the appropriate letter, so ‘T. M. Cleland and Rex Whistler’ is at the beginning of T. References to the text The pagination of Matrix is not always straight-forward so reading these notes will help the reader to find the relevant pages. Most index entries consist of the issue number in bold, followed by the page numbers within the issue (e.g. 15 101-6). Page references within an issue are separated by a comma, but issue numbers are never followed by a comma. Unnumbered pages within the normal text sequence are in square brackets [113] and unnumbered preliminary pages are in roman numerals [iii]. References distinguish between continuous text (e.g. 112-13) and unnumbered material between numbered text pages (e.g. 112/13). More specific references are provided for inserted material with eight or more pages (e.g. 15 30/1 Plate 7; 21 84/5 v). The information in the more substantial notes is indexed and the note number given, preceded by an n (e.g. 17 92 n22). Most of the covers are illustrated and are indexed as fc or bc for front or back cover. From Matrix 7 separate dust-wrappers were introduced and are indexed as dw. Matrix 1 and 2 were reprinted and are indexed: only the additional material is indexed for Matrix 1 reprint (1R) as the pagination is otherwise the same as in the original issue. The pagination of Matrix 2 reprint differs in every case and follows the references to the original Matrix 2, distinguished by 2R; the additional material is also indexed. 2 Matrix Index 8/21/03 9:28 AM Page 3 Contents Lists A Visit to the Rampant Lions Press, Matrix 1 by John Randle 26/28 AUTUMN 1981 Letter to the Editor, by Brocard Sewell 31/48 (350 copies printed: 30 in quarter-leather; 320 in stiff Under a Wing of the Golden Cockerel, covers) by Dame Hildelith Cumming 33/36 Gordon Craig prints The Mask in Italy, by Edward Blair Hughes-Stanton on Wood-engraving, Craig 7 by Paul Collet 45/51 A Pressman’s Diary 1927-1928, and the Shakespeare The Technique of Chinese Woodblock Printing, Head Froissart, by Paul Morgan 12 by Geng Tao and Liang Dong 51/57 Psalm 104 and Watersteps: the Locks of the Oxford The Historical Background, by Li Hua 55/61 Canal – wood-engravings by Rachel Reckitt and John Craig, by John Randle 17 On Printing Poetry Aloud, by Glenn Storhaug 58/64 My First Day at the Press, by Richard Kennedy 25 The Restoration of Iron Hand-presses, by Tom Craig 63/69 Three Proof Presses under an Oak Tree, by Glenn Storhaug 28 Hellmuth Weissenborn, by John Randle opp. 68/opp. 80 Letter to the Editor, by Simon Lawrence 34 The Senecio Press - One Man and Photo-litho, by Colin Cohen 69/75 Edward Walters, Printer and Engraver, by Brocard Sewell 35 René Hague and the Press at Pigotts, by Christopher Skelton 75/81 The Tale of Six Blocks, by John Randle 44 My Days at the St Dominic’s Press, Three Letterpress Printers, by Colin Cohen 45 by Brocard Sewell 82/89 Robert Gibbings: a Memoir, by John Hadfield 53 A Review of Fine Private Press Books published A Review of Fine Private Press Books published in 1981, by Michael Taylor 89/97 in 1980, by Michael Taylor 60 Presses Unparalleled: the Nonesuch Press and the Wood Type at I.

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.

  • Conservation of Coated and Specialty Papers
    RELACT HISTORY, TECHNOLOGY, AND TREATMENT OF SPECIALTY PAPERS FOUND IN ARCHIVES, LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS: TRACING AND PIGMENT-COATED PAPERS By Dianne van der Reyden (Revised from the following publications: Pigment-coated papers I & II: history and technology / van der Reyden, Dianne; Mosier, Erika; Baker, Mary , In: Triennial meeting (10th), Washington, DC, 22-27 August 1993: preprints / Paris: ICOM , 1993, and Effects of aging and solvent treatments on some properties of contemporary tracing papers / van der Reyden, Dianne; Hofmann, Christa; Baker, Mary, In: Journal of the American Institute for Conservation, 1993) ABSTRACT Museums, libraries, and archives contain large collections of pigment-coated and tracing papers. These papers are produced by specially formulated compositions and manufacturing procedures that make them particularly vulnerable to damage as well as reactive to solvents used in conservation treatments. In order to evaluate the effects of solvents on such papers, several research projects were designed to consider the variables of paper composition, properties, and aging, as well as type of solvent and technique of solvent application. This paper summarizes findings for materials characterization, degradative effects of aging, and some effects of solvents used for stain reduction, and humidification and flattening, of pigment-coated and modern tracing papers. Pigment-coated papers have been used, virtually since the beginning of papermaking history, for their special properties of gloss and brightness. These properties, however, may render coated papers more susceptible to certain types of damage (surface marring, embedded grime, and stains) and more reactive to certain conservation treatments. Several research projects have been undertaken to characterize paper coating compositions (by SEM/EDS and FTIR) and appearance properties (by SEM imaging of surface structure and quantitative measurements of color and gloss) in order to evaluate changes that might occur following application of solvents used in conservation treatments.

  • Development of Computer Typesetting
    Early steps in computer typesetting in the 1960s Jonathan Seybold, September 2018 1961–1964 Michael Barnett’s “Experiments in Typesetting” In 1961, Michael Barnett, an associate professor at MIT wrote a computer program that could produce punched paper tape output to drive a phototypesetting machine. He used this to produce the “Tail” from Alice in Wonderland, and a phototypeset press release. These were the first documents that were phototypeset from output generated by a computer. In 1962 Barnett received a research grant to continue this experiments. This lead to development of the PC6 system, which was used to produce a variety of reports, pamphlets and other publications in late 1963 and early 1964.1 Hardware: IBM 709/90 computer and a Photon 560 phototypesetter. Software: Written in Fortran, with a few routines written in FAP (Fortran Assembler). Written for a specific Photon 560 set-up. Typefonts were identified by disk position and row number. The TYPRINT program for text output composed text to fit a predefined page width and depth. Lines were broken after the last complete word that would fit on that line. There was no attempt at hyphenation. Pages were arbitrarily broken after the last line that would fit on the page. Special commands could be embedded in the text to tie text elements together. When it encountered these, the program would simply make the page as long as necessary to accommodate all of the text in the “no break” area. Given the scientific academic setting, the most notable feature of TYPRINT was a program written by J.M.
