Beschreibung:

4 volumes. Variously illustrated 8vo paper board bindings. Comprising: The Anti-Slavery Papers of James Russell Lowell. Published in Boston by Houghton Mifflin and Company, 1902. 2 volumes. Hudson, W.H. Ralph Herne. Published in New York by Alfred A. Knopf, 1923. Warde, Frederic. Bruce Rogers Designer of Books. Published by Harvard University Press in Cambridge, 1925. Bookplate of previous owner W. Van R. Whitall on pastedowns of three volumes. Bruce Rogers (1870-1957) was an American typographer and type designer, acclaimed by some as among the greatest book designers of the twentieth century. Rogers was known for his "allusive" typography, rejecting modernism, seldom using asymmetrical arrangements, rarely using sans serif typefaces, often favoring faces such as Bell (at the time known only as Brimmer), Caslon, his own Montaigne, a Jensonian precursor to his masterpiece of type design Centaur. Provenance: The Major W. Van R. Whitall collection was sold in Chicago in 1927.
