John Baskerville: A Bibliography (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 19 working days

This 1959 bibliography lists and describes everything that came
from the press of John Baskerville of Birmingham, who was appointed
Printer to the University of Cambridge in 1758. After an
introduction in which Dr Gaskell describes the methods that he has
adopted and the conclusions that he has drawn from the
investigation, there are two main parts: Specimens, Proposals and
other Ephemera, and Books. Each entry contains a quasi-facsimile
transcription of the title page, and gives details of formula
contents amongst several other things. This, which was the first
full bibliography of Baskerville's work, will be an essential tool
for Baskerville collectors and for historians of printing and
typography as well as for bibliographers. There are twelve
collotype plates, most of which illustrate unique copies of
Baskerville's ephemera; and there is in addition a full-size
facsimile of Baskerville's last type specimen.
