D.B.U. AND R.R.: SELECTED EXTRACTS FROM CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN DANIEL BERKELEY UPDIKE AND RUDOLPH RUZICKA, 1908-1941
Lathem, Edward Connery and Elizabeth French Lathem (Editors)
D.B.U and R.R. prints for the first time extracts from the important correspondence between these major figures of American graphic arts, revealing a little-known closeness between the Merrymount Press fine printer Updike and the artist Ruzicka. The two men collaborated on a number of important books, including Newark and the Grolier Club's Irving, as well the exquisite series of Merrymount annual keepsakes. Ruzicka also played a substantial advisory role in the writing of Updike's monumental Printing Types. This touching and candid thirty-three year correspondence is put in context by the Lathems' elucidating commentary. This work includes an index and two tipped-in facsimiles, as well as illustrations reproduced in the original colors. Printed by the Stinehour Press, in an edition of 500 copies.
