About This Item
London: Lund Humphries, 1971 4to (30.5 cm), 184 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly frayed at extremities). "Stanley Morison is one of the major figures in the history of typography, as a provider of distinguished book typefaces and as one, who, in the first half of the twentieth century, did most to raise the study of typography to a scholarly level. The extent of his own writings on the subject will perhaps not be equaled. Yet he was not a unique phenomenon, and in this book, James Moran endeavors to assess Morison's contribution objectively against the background of typographical development both in the United States and Britain. In the process he challenges some of Morison's claims. This does not detract from the value of the typefaces for which Morison was responsible, but it may help to arrest any myth-making."
