About This Item
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1972 4to (28 cm), [6], 362 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj clipped and slightly frayed at extremities and stained, ownership entry on the front fee endpaper). Edited by Nicolas Barker. "The history of lettering and its place in the history of the western world is the last of Stanley Morison's work's. Based on his 1957 Lyell lectures, but much expanded and reworked, this book provides a panoptic view of the origins and development of Graeco-Latin script over the last 2000 years. Political, social, aesthetic, religious and commercial factors affecting letter forms are assessed and discussed, and numerous examples are illustrated." (from the blurb)
