Talbot Baines Reed wrote in a period of transition when hot metal
typesetting and offset printing were transforming the scale and
scope of printing. In the previous 350 years, England had
experienced civil war and started the Industrial Revolution. The
dissemination of printed information and learning is inextricable
to this history, and the art with which this was done is a
quintessential part of English culture. Reed is distinctly aware of
the great debt that his contemporaries had to the early
typographers (notable among them William Caslon - considered the
first great English typographer - and John Baskerville), and
everywhere in his work is this shown in his meticulous and
unstinting presentation of the fascinating details of their
artistic exploration and expression. Modern readers will enjoy the
technical and historical insight this work affords, and also find
the style and presentation fresh and engaging.
