[Chiswick Press, London.] Small printed pamphlet: 'A List of Typographical and Bibliographical Works by Chas. T. Jacobi | Managing Partner of the Chiswick Press'.

Beschreibung

[16]pp, 16mo (11.5 x 7.5 cm). Stitched unpaginated pamphlet, tastefully printed with decorative headpiece to title, and the Press's celebrated device to the colophon. A frail survival, aged, worn and spotted, with one corner of last leaf dogeared. At foot of title-page: 'Any volume will be sent on receipt of Postal Order in advance.' Following the title-page are two pages with a history of 'The Chiswick Press. | Founded 1789.' Then a full-page advertisement for 'A Practical Treatise on the Art of Typography', with a full page containing 'Some Press Opinions'. Similar two-page advertisements follow for 'On the Making and Issuing of Books', 'Some Notes on Books and Printing', 'The Printers' Handbook', 'The Printers' Vocabulary' and 'Gesta Typographica'. Scarce: the only two copies on OCLC WorldCat at the Universities of Cambridge and Michigan.
