Archive of Job Printing Fine Printing and Short Works from a Seattleite

1981ref. 6617Seattle 1981. Archive of ephemeral printed materials and two typed essays both with hand drawn or colored illustrations. Generally very good or better with the occasional scuff or crease. An attractive and varied set of materials mainly consisting of "copies of jobs done" as labeled on the folder housing the collection. Gregory Francis Robison attended Seattle Prep School and apparently began printing at a fairly early age; we find in newspapers he likely graduated ca. 1972 and the earliest piece in this collection is dated 1967. From small senior prom keepsakes to finely printed party invitations there is a definite sense of progression of artistry and technique in the items. Interestingly this archive also contains two manuscript essays on Pacific Northwest Coast Indians both copyrighted in 1968 and one with a Library of Congress Cat. No. no less. The Archive includes: 1. 9 Small tickets business cards announcements etc. for local events several for clubs at Seattle Prep including Harlequin Club productions.
