Order Nr. 10159

Volume 21, No.72. Rogers designed six inserts for this issue demonstrating two color printing with the monotype. Covers chipped along edges. Spine starting.

The typography is by the notable American book designer Bruce Rogers (1870-1957), who "was appreciated in his lifetime. In addition to several honorary degrees, in 1948 he was awarded a gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters for distinction in the graphic arts. Over decades of accomplishment in which he designed approximately 500 books... Rogers literally defined the profession of book designing in the United States" (ANB).
