‎LETTERS FROM THE 15TH CENTURY: ON THE ORIGINS OF THE KELMSCOTT CHAUCER TYPEFACE. A STUDY WITH SPECIMEN LEAVES OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE EARLY GERMAN PRINTERS ON WILLIAM MORRIS' MASTERPIECE‎

‎McMinnville Oregon: Phillip J. Pirages 2019. ONE OF 84 COPIES in floral-patterned cloth from a total edition of 165 COPIES. Text: 244 x 154 mm. 9 1/8 x 6 1/8"; Case: 502 x 372 mm. 19 3/4 x 14 5/8". ii 75 pp. <br/> Bound in floral-patterned cloth after a Morris design by Amy Borezo who also constructed the case holding the volume and leaves. The book printed letterpress on Zerkall Book Laid Vellum paper by Arthur Larson at Horton Tank Graphics. Book layout by Jill Mann. EACH COPY WITH FIVE LEAVES: ONE FROM THE KELMSCOTT CHAUCER with one or more 10-line initials multiple six- and/or three-line initials AND ONE EACH FROM THE PRESSES OF FOUR GERMAN PRINTERS FROM THE 1470s--PETER SCHOEFFER JOHANN MENTELIN GÃœNTHER ZAINER AND ANTON KOBERGER. â—†The incunabular leaves consistently excellent with only minor defects and the Kelmscott leaves which were never part of a bound volume in entirely fine condition.<br/> <br/> This is a unique leaf book in the way that it combines three elements: a significant private press production involving people at the top of their craft a scholarly commentary that contributes to a further understanding of the history of printing and--most important--five leaves: one from the Kelmscott Press "Works" of Geoffrey Chaucer and four from books issued by German printers at work in the 1470s. The book has been printed and bound by hand by gifted professionals; the essay addresses a topic of significance to typophiles in a considerably more thoroughgoing way than has been done before; and the assemblage of leaves represents a powerful visual reinforcement of the text as well as an opportunity to share in the ownership of four important incunabula along with the extraordinary Kelmscott Chaucer. The story of the production is heavy on serendipity: in the winter of 2012 after purchasing a very incomplete copy of the Kelmscott Chaucer at auction we considered the possibility of producing a leaf book but because the Chaucer--universally considered to be one of the most beautiful books ever printed--had been written about by so many different people in so many different ways we didn't know what aspect was left for us to explore. The one topic we fastened on as thus far inadequately examined is the origin of the work's typeface. We soon learned that Morris who is known to have owned more than 500 incunables most admired--and was consequently most likely to have been influenced in his typographic design by--Peter Schoeffer of Mainz Johann Mentelin of Strassburg Günther Zainer of Augsburg and Anton Koberger of Nuremberg. Over the course of the years succeeding the purchase of the defective Chaucer we were fortunate beyond all expectation to acquire incomplete books from each of these four eminent printers. As a result the present leaf book will allow the reader not only to read in the accompanying essay about the influence on Morris of his typographic forebears but also to compare with his or her own eyes the resemblances between the Kelmscott leaf and the leaves from four centuries earlier. We have additional copies of this binding available at different price points. Please contact us directly for more details. Phillip J. Pirages unknown‎

‎Hugo, E. Harold (1910-1985). Printing pioneer who worked his way up to become president of The Meriden Gravure Company.‎

‎AN ARCHIVE CONSISTING OF 12 AUTOGRAPH LETTERS SIGNED by E. HAROLD HUGO to PARKER BREESE ALLEN President of THE MERIDEN GRAVURE COMPANY chronicling Hugo's 1931-1932 sales trips on behalf of the printing company which specialized in very high quality image reproduction.‎

‎Little Rock Arkansas; Dayton Ohio; et al. 1931 through 1932. 1931. 1931. - A collection of 12 letters penned by E. Harold Hugo addressed to Parker Breese Allen President of the Meriden Gravure Company chronicling Hugo's sales trips on behalf of the printing company. Hugo's letters are preceded by a March 27th 1931 Inter-Office letter from Parker Allen to E. Harold Hugo initialed by Allen. At the bottom of this one-page typed letter is a 25 word annotation penned by Allen about the "Manning-Bowman" job. Hugo's subsequent letters are penned or penciled on 34 pages the first 3 of which are on 9-1/4 inch high by 5-7/8 inch high hotel stationery including that of the Southwest Hotels in Little Rock and The Dayton-Biltmore in Ohio. The very last letter is penned on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide Lord Baltimore Hotel stationery. All of the other letters are written on The Meriden Gravure Co.'s 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide "Inter-Office Correspondence" stationery. The letters are as follows:<p>1 April 20 1931. A 4 page Autograph Letter Signed from Hugo to "Parks" Parker Allen on Little Rock Hotel letterhead. Hugo has met with the State of Arkansas geologist George Casper Branner. "He was very much interested is sold on the process and plans to use us on some of his fossil publications."<p>2 April 21 1931. A 2 page Autograph Letter Signed from Hugo to Parker Allen on Dayton Ohio's "The Dayton-Biltmore" hotel letterhead. Hugo met with the Kentucky State geologist Willard Rouse Jillsen "rather a hard-boiled chap & his father is in the engraving business. However he had to admit the superiority of our work."<p>3 April 22 1931. A two page Autograph Letter Signed from Hugo to Parker Allen on "The Dayton-Biltmore" letterhead. Hugo met with the American geologist and paleontologist August F. Foerste who "gave me a couple of leads." "Foerste liked our work immensely."<p>Subsequent letters are from Hugo's 1932 sales trip. The letters probably date from January but we have not been able to precisely pin down the exact sequence. All but the last one are written on "The Meriden Gravure Co. Inter-Office Correspondence" stationery. Deducing from the content they go at least through March.<p>4 A 4 page Autograph Letter Signed penned in Chicago addressed to Parker Allen. Hugo met with Albert C. McFarland who was the manager of the Manufacturing Department of the University of Chicago Press. He receives information on where the work is done for the press. "Mac Farland sic seemed like a nice fellow and says he'll remember us and I believe he will . as far as I can see Mac Farland is the Dictator." He also met with Carey Croneis the curator of paleontology at the Walker Museum. "Croneis likes our stuff very much and will recommend it."<p>5 A 2 page Autograph Letter Signed and a note written from Urbana Illinois to Parker Allen. He met with Dorothy Rose the editor of scientific publication for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "We are certain to get their next book on fossils." i.e. J. Marvin Weller's Doctoral Thesis.<p>6 A 4 page Autograph Letter Signed to Parker Allen from Nebraska. Hugo met with Dr. Erwin Barbour director of the Nebraska State Museum and "a classmate of your Dad's at Yale." He then met with Dr. George Condra director of the Conservation and Survey Division of the University of Nebraska. "He promised us his next job of 1500 of about 50 plates." Condra arranged a meeting with Hugo of men in the Experimental Agronomy Dept mis-spelled "Agrenamy". ".excellent reception here . By golly our stuff just sells itself with a little persuasion."<p>7 A 3 page Autograph Letter Signed from Kansas to Parker Allen. Hugo met with Ray C. Moore of the University of Kansas. Moore initiated the massive "Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology" the definitive encyclopedia of invertebrate fossils. Moore tells Hugo about a company in Canada ". Who are quoting ridiculous prices. I can't figure it out. He'll continue with us however."<p>8 A 2 page Autograph Letter Signed from Norman Oklahoma to Parker Allen. Hugo met with Charles Newton Gould who had organized the geology department at The University of Oklahoma. "I got an original from Gould to proof - a pencil sketch." "The trip is getting a little tiresome but interesting and I think will be very profitable."<p>9 A 4 page Autograph Letter Signed from Chicago to Parker Allen. Hugo meets again with Albert McFarland of the University of Chicago Press. "We will get Byzantine Testament & Papyrus Milbank as soon as they are ready." He refers to the color printer Max Jaffe. "Jaffee ea sic Vienna is doing a color job for them and they are in a mess over it." William Kittredge Director of Design and Typography for the Lakeside Press missed his appointment. Hugo gives a positive report on The Field Museum's gelatin plant. On the verso of this letter Hugo types the copy of a January 20 wire from Allen.<p>10 A 2 page Autograph Letter Signed written while en-route from Detroit. Hugo meets with the historian Eugene S. McCartney at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. From him he receives copy for a 15 page publication. From there he goes on to Detroit where he meets with someone from the advertising firm Campbell-Ewald. He calls the man "a bag of air that kept me waiting for an hour and a half." "Detroit was . a disappointment but Ann Arbor took the edge off a little."<p>11 A 2 page Autograph Letter Signed from Cleveland to Parker Allen. Hugo meets with Edd A. Ruggles the Cleveland Museum of Art's photographer from 1916-1941. Ruggles ". is enthusiastic about the process." He can get the OK for "an order for 30M postcards at approx 8.5M soon."<p>12 Later in the year on a different trip Hugo writes to Parker Allen from Baltimore in a 3 page Autograph Letter Signed penned on "Lord Baltimore Hotel" letterhead. In the letter dated October 4 1932 Hugo writes in detail of "8 good interviews at Princeton" . and several "jobs which will come our way eventually." He is told that "the only jobs in production are those started before we entered the Picture."<p>Several of the letters are folded for mailing and all are in generally very good condition.<p>In addition there are 9 typed transcriptions of the letters on poor yellowing copy paper several of which have short tears at the edges and holes from having once been stapled to other correspondence. <p>E. Harold Hugo August 8 1910 - 1985 was only 20 and 21 years old at the time of these letters and sales trips. Hugo had begun working at Meriden in 1924 at the age of 14 while still in High School.<p>According to his obituary published by the New York Times on October 5 1985: "Under Mr. Hugo's leadership the company won international renown for the quality of its art reproductions posters and illustrations for books and catalogues. . He began working part time at the Meriden Gravure Company when he was 14. During World War II he became general manager and in 1950 was named a director. He became president in 1969 and retired in 1975. In 1984 he received the W.A. Dwiggins Award from the Book Builders of Boston for distinction in graphic arts and printing."<p>William J. Glick an associate of Hugo's at Meriden Gravure has documented Hugo's life and work in a personal and scholarly book: "In the Service of Scholarship: Harold Hugo & The Meriden Gravure Company."
