The Fleuron Anthology
Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1973. 1st Canadian Edition. Hardcover. 4to. Fine / Fine. Item #011293
Full navy paper boards. xv, 359 pp. Spots of sunning to spine foot. Dust jaket is price clipped, bumped at spine head. Fine overall. The seven volumes of The Fleuron -- a Journal of Typography were published between 1923 and 1930. They celebrated, but also largely contrived, the typographic renaissance of their time. The seven volumes, totalling 1350 pages, are now virtually impossible to come by. By a happy chance, Francis Meynell and Herbert Simon, two men who were associated with the original Fleuron, venture and are known also for their own typographic achievements, have been available to edit this significant and handsome volume, adding their 'Retrospectus.'.
