Printed in an edition limited to 800 copies, this being one of 715 trade copies. Matrix is the longest surviving and probably the last typographical journal to be printed by letterpress. It is an eclectic mix of fine printing, type design, and small press lore, forming a record of events and personalities whose memory would otherwise have died with their recorders. It is no exaggeration to say that in the future it will be impossible to research fine printing without reference to Matrix. This issue contains twenty-five articles and additional book reviews, including: Anthony Dowd, "Fine Press and the Bookbinder"; Miriam MacGregor, "The Forgotten Pleasure of Hand-Printing"; Lucy Archer, "Working with Olive Cook"; Michael Caine, "My Concatenation of Types"; Dennis Gould, "Latterday Letterpress Printer"; and Simon Lawrence, "Aspects of Golden Gockerel." Illustrated throughout with many tipped-in specimens on special paper, engravings, photographs. color plates, etc. and a 1937 Matisse, "Woman's Head," as frontispiece.
