Very nice example. The illustrator, Bernard Brussel-Smith (1914-1989) studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, and the New School for Social Research, New York. He taught at the Brooklyn Museum, Cooper Union, City College, and the National Academy. His work was widely exhibited and is in many major art collections. The printer publisher Kurt Hans Volk (1884-1962) was born in Germany, and probably trained as a printer/typographer there. He worked for many years at N.W. Ayers in Philadelphia before starting his own typographic firm in 1927. He widely lectured on advertising typography and authored the important work: "Using Type Correctly." He greatest influence as a designer was probably as a consultant to the Merganthaler Linotype Company. Today he is probably best known for a private series of keepsakes and limited edition books distributed to friends at Christmas. We are pleased to be able to offer one of these here.
