Fredeman calls this one of the "most splendid works published by Emily Faithfull". "As physical objects (this book and one other produced by Faithfull), they are superior to any book issued with the imprint of the press, and they compare favourably with similar books by Owen Jones and Noel Humphreys..." Emily Faithfull established this press in 1860 as an outlet for her theories on the employment of women and the press employed mostly women in most facets of the business. The press was transferred to the Queen Printing and Publishing Company in 1881.
Presentation on verso of free endpaper "R. Townsend Mayer, With Emily Faithful's best regards, Feb. 24, 1869." With the bookplate of Samuel Ralph Townsend and Gertrude Mary Mayer on front pastedown. Wear at bottom of spine and one corner. Inside hinges craced with pages loose as often happened with this book as the pages were not sewn in by the original binder.

(Fournier, Pierre Simon) Mosley, James MODELES DES CARACTERES DE L'IMPRIMERIE ET DES AUTRES CHOSES NECESSAIRES AUDIT ART. NOUVELLEMENT GRAVES. With An Introduction to Pierre Simon Fournier's MODELES ... by James Mosely.
Two volumes. London Eugrammia Press 1965 oblong 4to. cloth, paper wrappers, both volumes enclosed in a slipcase. Facsimile of the 1742 manual accompanied by the 20 page introduction.
Printed in an edition limited to 600 copies. Reproduced from the copy in the Printing Library of the St. Bride Institute. Thirty-three plates depict samples of the types cut by Fournier c. 1742 and which then appeared in his Manuel Typographique. A consummate artist and craftsman, Fournier (1712 - 1768) was one of the 18th century's finest engravers and typefounders, and his type, with its light, clean look on the printed page and great economy in text, greatly influenced Giambattista Bodoni ( 1740 - 1813), who later in the century popularized the more severe "modern" look. Introduction by Mosley, renowned typography professor and then librarian at the St. Bride Printing Library. Printed in collotype by Louis van Leer & Co. of Amsterdam on rag cream paper. Loosely inserted in this copy is the 12 page publisher's catalogue describing this book and others they published.
