About this book
Caslon's foundry in 1750 appears in an engraving at the front of this history of the men who cut and cast English type. Talbot Baines Reed spent several years gathering scattered records of the old letter founders into one account, with historical and bibliographical notes on the rise of English typography. He built on Edward Rowe Mores's dissertation of 1778 and tested later anecdotes against original sources where he could. The title page is dated London, 1887.
