Description
Heading: (Zapf, Hermann)
Author:
Title: Gutenberg Jahrbuch 1950: Festschrift zum 50jährigen Bestehen des Gutenberg- Museums in Mainz
Place Published: Mainz
Publisher:Aloys Ruppel/Gutenberg-Gesellschaft
Date Published: 1950
Description: 444, [2], [16] ad., [2] pp. (4to) full vellum, decorated and lettered in gilt, top edge gilt, other edges speckled brown, slipcase.Nice association copy, inscribed on the half-title from German type designer and calligrapher Hermann Zapf to Quentin Fiore. Inscription with message in German and dated 1957 from New York. Soon after receiving this book, Fiore would go on to collaborate with Marshall McLuhan with iconoclastic vision - perhaps an ironic departure from the historical approach of this volume and Zapf's conservative style. This book is also notable as the first use of Zapf's Linotype Palatino.
