9 J. W. Mackail, William Morris An Address Delivered the XIth November 1890 at Kelmscott House,
Hammersmith
Hammersmith, London: Doves Press, 1901. Stk. PR 5083
M397 1901.
Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson and Emery Walker, the man who inspired
William Morris, formed Doves Press in 1901. The pages that were
printed were to be uncluttered, without ornament or illustration.
The 20 volumes produced under the Doves Press imprint reflected
Cobden-Sanderson’s dictum that ‘the whole duty of typography…is
to communicate, without loss by the way, the thought or image intended
to be communicated by the author.’ Note the near perfect two-colour
register amongst the impeccable printing. |
