Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Brief Survey of Printing: History and Practice
A note of European importance was struck by the printing which came from the Doves Press, Hammersmith, established in 1900 by Mr. Cobden-sanderson. Here the typograph ical genius of Emery Walker, which had hith erto been very largely an in?uence - a power behind the throne of good typography rather than an individual expression of creative work - expressed itself in the Doves type. This fount was modelled closely on Jenson's, and it made the Doves Press books the high water mark of the printing revival.
