About This Item
The book designer, typographer and printer John Anderson (1915-1997) was inspired by the activities of the aviation pioneers, the Wright Brothers, who ran a printing press. Anderson acquired his own small hand press when he was only 13 years old and went on to establish himself as one of the foremost small pressman. He set up his first commercial press founding the Bantam Press in 1934. Needing to further his education, he went on to work as an apprentice to Peter Beilenson of the Peter Pauper Press and, in 1946, founded the Pickering Press. After moving to Pasadena, California, Anderson briefly worked for the Castle Press but quickly moved on following clashes with the press' foreman. Within the year Anderson started working for Paul Weaver's Northland Press in Flagstaff, designing many award-winning books. Returning to Philadelphia in 1963, Anderson reopened his Pickering Press and resumed his collaboration with the wood engraver John DePol, with whom he'd worked since 1950.
