A view of early typography: up to about 1600

Hyphen Press / 2022.08.16

A reprint of this long-out-of-print and now classic work, which summarizes what can be known about the production and use of type in the first 150 years of printing.

A new introduction by James Mosley explains the significance of the book and gives a short account of Carter’s life and work.
