Description

Philadelphia: Privately Printed by Mackellar, Smiths & Jordan For Friends, 1896. Large Folio. Bound in original cram cloth with stunning graphic pictorial cover of a man resting in a sauna with elbow on window sill, showing outside garden, in wonderful Art Nouveau style. This is an extremely scarce work published by the famous Type Foundry company, Mackellar, Smiths and Jordan. Thomas Mackellar, referred by many to be the "father of American Printing," published "The American Printer" in 1866, which is still used today, and its day, was considered the "bible" of printing. Thomas Mackellar was also a poet with about a dozen books published by noted firms in the mid to late 19th Century. An outstanding copy, one of only two found on the Net, and the other is completely restored. Cover wear, soiling, loosely seated in fragile binding, but a nice copy a scarce and attractive book describing the accomplishments of this noted printing firm.
