Sobre este artículo
New York: The Grolier Club, 1982. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. This is copy number 241 of 300 signed by the author. Blumenthal (1897-1990) was an American printer and publisher, typographer, and book historian. As founder of the Spiral Press, he was a well-known figure in the 20th century fine press movement, designing and printing work for prominent clients such as the poet Robert Frost. In 1952, the American Institute of Graphic Arts awarded him a medal for craftsmanship in printing. Blumenthal was also a self-taught historian of books and printing and wrote both anecdotal and more scholarly accounts of the book arts. Octavo: [viii], 153 p. with numerous reproductions. Printed at The Steinhour Press and bound in decorative paper-covered boards over a burgundy cloth spine with gilt stamping. A fine copy, housed in the publisher's slipcase.
