(Bullen, Henry Lewis) Collection of approximately 100 blocks used to produce illustrations for the Inland Printer.
Chicago N.P. circa 1918-1924 Various sizes
A collection of about 100 blocks, mostly copper, used to illustrate articles in the Inland Printer between 1918 and 1924 (Union List 3, 1991). Most illustrated articles by Henry Lewis Bullen (1857-1938), who became associated with the American Type Founders Company of Jersey City in 1892. Bullen became the librarian of the company's Typographic Library and Museum. Bullen's main contributions to the periodical were published in the "Collectanea Typographica," a series of short comments on literary and historical aspects of printing. See James Eckman, The Collectanea Typographica of Henry Lewis Bullen 1857-1938 in The Inland Printer 1918-1024, 1926 and 1928-1931 (Rochester, MN: The Doomsday Press, 1961). Bullen's career waned with the bankruptcy of ATF in the 1930s, and much of the library and museum's collections were acquired by Columbia University by 1941, after the library had offered duplicates in its collections for sale in 1936, issuing a catalogue to do so. See David Walker Mallison, Henry Lewis Bullen and the Typographic Library and Museum of the American Type Founders Company (Ph.D. dissertation, Columbia University, 1976).

The text and illustrations captions of the Inland Printer often often included descriptive information about the original illustration, mainly when, where and for what purpose it was created. They include, among many others, are reproductions of illustrations of Sally Franklin, the Albany Type Foundry, Sigismund Feyrabendt, Pierre and Firmin Didot, Edward Cave, David Bruce Jr., Claude Garamond, printer marks of Geofroy Tory, Christopher Plantin and the Pilgrim Printers (of Plymouth Colony).

(Caxton Club) Piehl, Frank THE CAXTON CLUB 1895-1995, CELEBRATING A CENTURY OF THE BOOK IN CHICAGO.
Chicago The Caxton Club 1995 8vo. gray cloth over boards with white stamping and paper label with slipcase. 224 pages.
The Caxton Club was founded in Chicago in January 1895 by fifteen bibliophiles. Its objective was the "literary study and promotion of the arts pertaining to the production of books" and "the occasional publishing of books designed to illustrate, promote and encourage these arts." One century later, the Club remains dedicated to this objective. It brings together a community of individuals who share the love of books and provides them a forum to educate one another on their content and design; and about the joys of reading them. In addition, their activities and existence have contributed a significant chapter to the history of book collecting in America with its changing tastes and the evolution of fine printing and fine binding over 100 years in Chicago. Caxton Club historian, Frank J. Piehl, offers a taste of the artistic, intellectual and literary atmosphere of Chicago from which the Caxton Club merged. According to Piehl, early bibliophiles concerned themselves not only with a book's contents, but also with the physical aspects of a book. In its 100 years, the Club has published 60 books that are distinguished by their content and design. Nineteen are important historical works, sixteen describe the history of printing and bookbindings, seven relate to bibliophiles and book collecting, and the remaining eighteen comprise a miscellany of poetry, literary works, plays, an opera and other items. Anyone who is interested in the history of book collecting, printing and bookbinding will enjoy this work. Designed by Caxtonian Bruce Beck and printed by R.R. Donnelley & Sons, the Caxton Club publishes this history of the Club that includes an up-to-date bibliography of the Club's publications, as well as biographies of Caxtonians who have contributed prominently to the advancement of the book and the club. Limited to 1,000 numbered and signed copies of which 900 are offered for sale.
