#The Printers’ International Specimen Exchange

[uwmspeccoll]

Typography Tuesday

This week we present a few specimen pages from Volume IV, 1883, of The Printers’ International Specimen Exchange published in London for The Paper and Printing Trades Journal by Field & Tuer at “The Leadenhall Press.” The specimens shown here were printed by English and American printers.

The Exchange was conceived during the Caxton Celebration of 1877 as an expansion of the “Specimens” column appearing in the Paper & Printing Trades Journal edited by Andrew White Tuer. As an annual subscription publication for the “technical education of the working printer,” the Exchange became very influential and came out annually (with the last two volumes covering two-year periods) from 1880 to 1898. John Ruskin praised the goals of the project, and Queen Victoria accepted a copy of Volume VI, which we also hold. Our copy has the half-vellum deluxe binding side-stitched with catgut.

On-Demand Slide Printing Solution Helps Pathology Labs Reduce the Risk of Specimen Misidentification and Maintain Efficiency

NUSSLOCH, Germany, June 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Leica Biosystems today announced the addition of HistoCore PERMA S slide printing solution, expanding their portfolio of slide identification products. PERMA S is a compact, on-demand slide printer providing high-quality, consistent prints while maximizing patient safety at any microtome station.

"The PERMA S provides users a convenient, easy to use solution that helps reduce errors in patient labeling.  Ultimately, this results in increased patient safety, while maintaining workflow efficiency."

PERMA S eliminates the need for hand-written or expensive printed labels with easy-to-read 300 dpi imprints and high-quality barcodes. In addition, PERMASLIDE validated slides provide consistent, reliable print quality in white clipped corner adhesive and non-adhesive options.

This week we present a new acquisition, Volume VI, 1885, of The Printers’ International Specimen Exchange published in London for The Paper and Printing Trades Journal by Field & Tuer at “The Leadenhall Press.” The specimens shown here were printed by printers in Scotland, England, Wales, Netherlands, Germany, and France. A number of the specimens were printed by printer’s apprentices.

The Exchange was conceived during the Caxton Celebration of 1877 as an expansion of the "Specimens" column appearing in the Paper & Printing Trades Journal edited by Andrew White Tuer. As an annual subscription publication for the "technical education of the working printer," the Exchange became very influential and came out annually (with the last two volumes covering two-year periods) from 1880 to 1898. John Ruskin praised the goals of the project, and Queen Victoria accepted a copy of Volume VI, specimens of which are shown here. Our copy has the half-vellum deluxe binding side-stitched with catgut. We have also acquired Volume IV, 1883, and we will be showing more specimens from these volumes in future #Typography Tuesday posts!

A little pissed and need to share why! 😤😤😤 This extremely rare and amazing book was filled with nearly 1000 extremely rare Cigar Label Samples that were hand tipped on by the Lithographer and it was their Sample Book! I discovered it this week, only to find that the owner has soaked the pages and removed every single label and is selling them individually. 😢 This is maddening to me and these so called Rare Book Dealers have continued this practice daily around the world, all in the name of the almighty dollar! I am furious at this practice. I have 1000’s of items, including rare illustrated Books, Catalogs and Salesman Samples for sale here in The Pressroom and Mercantile. The only time we sell the Plates, Samples or Pages is when the Bindings or Condition are far beyond repair, as is the case with our Printer’s International Specimen Exchange Books. PrePandemic I was in a ‘famous’ Rare Bookstore on the Upper East Side in New York City, where they literally had a 55 gallon trash receptacle and they were removing the Illustrated Plates and Covers from dozens of Books. 🤬 I was livid. If you all even knew how much of this rare material was destroyed and discarded like this daily, your head would spin off your shoulders. 💥 It’s hard enough to find this material in tact, not torn, wet, moldy or otherwise damaged. If you knew, you would most certainly have a new impression of the quality we try to acquire and maintain here at @theboxsf I guess the worst part of this rant is it’s happening again today without a second thought all over the world! The Pressroom and Mercantile here at @theboxsf sources, rescues, repairs, documents, shares, educates, exhibits, publishes and sells “All Things Printed”! Please do share this post, and join or journey, as we continue our passionate work. 👨🏻‍🎨 -Mark E.
