The Dean of American Printers - Theodore Low de Vinne and the Art Preservative of All Arts Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Theodore Low De Vinne (1828–1914) was the leading commercial printer of his day and is one of the most important figures in the book world of the nineteenth-century United States.

Illustrating De Vinne's life and accomplishments, and published to coincide with the centenary of his death, this catalogue accompanied a Grolier Club exhibition.

It contains books, manuscripts, letters, photographs, and other objects, many drawn from the Club's own collections.

A detailed checklist and a foreword by the award-winning type designer Matthew Carter enhance the volume’s usefulness for anyone interested in the history of the book.
