KEYSTONE INTIALS AND CUTS

The Keystone Type Foundry was established in Philadelphia in 1888 and operated independently until 1917 when it became one of the many foundries absorbed by American Type Founders. These cast and electrotyped initials and cuts are from the foundry's Catalogue and Specimen Book Keystone Products Consisting of Type, Material Furniture Complete Line of Miscellaneous Supplies for Printers and Publishers published in Philadelphia in 1910. All the initials and cuts shown here were designed by Keystone's own staff except for the Meridale and Lotus Initials which were licensed to Keystone.

This catalogue was copy No. 5351 and according to its bookplate was the property of Keystone and was only lent out, not sold or given, to a printer/publisher, and was expected to be returned "intact and in good condition, reasonable wear expected." Someone clearly did not follow those instructions, as several specimens have been cut from the catalogue's pages as can be seen in the Caslon Bold Page Ornaments.

Worker at the Rapid Electrotype in Cincinnati ca. 1935-1943

The Rapid Electrotype Company of Cincinnati was founded in 1899 and helped pioneer the making and distribution of newspaper advertising plates. The company’s greatest claim to fame was their parenting of the aluminotype process of electrotype printing. However despite their successful use of this system, based on what results I can find online it seems that aluminotypes remained a Rapid Electrotype exclusive product, I assume due to their holding the patent. Therefore they didn’t become widely adopted outside that company, as far as I can tell.

April 17th is National Banana Day! This day is dedicated to the yellow (when ripe) fruit.

While we don’t have a cut in our print shop exhibit specifically about bananas, we do have one that contains them! For today, Howard letterpress printed an electrotype (copy of a woodcut) from the Lewis Winter Collection that was made about 125-130 years ago. This cut, which is in the shape of a circle, contains a woman (maybe Minerva) surrounded by tropical fruit.

Considering Lewis Winter submitted in the early 1890s many engravings for competition at the California State Fair, which was operated by the California State Agricultural Society, that could explain why he made this cut. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press.

…..What great births you have witnessed! The steam press, the steamship, the steel ship, the railroad, the perfected cotton-gin, the telegraph, the telephone, the phonograph, the photograph, photo-gravure, the electrotype, the gaslight, the electric light, the sewing machine, & the amazing, infinitely varied & innumerable products of coal tar, those latest & strangest marvels of a marvelous age. And you have seen even greater births than these; for you have seen the application of anæsthesia to surgery-practice, whereby the ancient dominion of pain, which began with the first created life, came to an end in this earth forever; you have seen the slave set free, you have seen monarchy banished from France, & reduced in England to a machine which makes an imposing show of diligence & attention to business, but isn't connected with the works. Yes, you have indeed seen much—but tarry yet a while, for the greatest is yet to come.

Letter from Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) to Walt Whitman, 24 May 1889 on the occasion of Whitman’s birthday. (The entire letter is 8 pages).

Alexander Bain, The Weaver Philosopher, was born on June 11th 1818 in Aberdeen.

Alexander was born to George Bain, a weaver and veteran soldier, and Margaret Paul.

At age eleven he left school to work as a weaver hence the description of him as Weevir, Rex Philosophorum. He also took to lectures at the Mechanics' Institutes of Aberdeen and the Aberdeen Public Library.

In 1836 he entered Marischal College where he came under the influence of Professor of Mathematics John Cruickshank, Professor of Chemistry Thomas Clark and Professor of Natural Philosophy William Knight.

Towards the end of his undergraduate degree he became a contributor to the Westminster Review with his first article entitled "Electrotype and Daguerreotype," published in September 1840.

In 1841, Bain substituted for Dr. Glennie the Professor of Moral Philosophy, who, due to ill-health, was unable to discharge his academic duties.

In 1845 he was appointed Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Anderson's University in Glasgow. A year later, preferring a wider field, he resigned the position and devoted himself to writing.

Bain's philosophical writings already published, especially The Senses and the Intellect to which was added in 1861 The Study of Character including an Estimate of Phrenology, were too large for effective use in the classroom.

Although his influence as a logician and linguist in grammar and rhetoric was considerable, his reputation rests on his works in psychology.

Bain's autobiography, published in 1904, contains a full list of his works, and also the history of the last thirteen years of his life by Professor W. L. Davidson of the University of Aberdeen

Bain retired from his Chair and Professorship from the University of Aberdeen and was succeeded by William Minto, one of his most brilliant pupils.

In 1894 also appeared his last contribution to Mind. His last years were spent in privacy at Aberdeen, where he died on 18th September 1903.

He married twice but left no children. His last request was that "no stone should be placed upon his grave: his books, he said, would be his monument."

Typography Tuesday

This week we present some type and wood-engraved initials from an edition of Alfred Lord Tennyson's Lyric Poems by the Vale Press, printed in London at the Ballantyne Press in an edition of 320 copies in 1900. British artist, illustrator, printer, and book and type designer Charles Ricketts (1866-1931) founded the Vale Press in 1896 and designed three typefaces for the press. The most commonly used typeface was Vale Type, which is used here. Ricketts also used over 100 ornamental initials which he designed and engraved, several of which are shown here. To make the initials, Ricketts would draw the designs in ink, and then would paste a number of designs onto a single sheet. These were then photographed onto a woodblock, engraved by Ricketts, and finally separated when they were electrotyped.

The Art Nouveau-style border design in the first image was designed by Ricketts and engraved in wood by Charles Edward Keats, who began working for Ricketts in 1899. As Ricketts did not own the requisite printing equipment for his enterprise, he established a relationship with the venerable Edinburgh-founded Ballantyne Press, and this edition was printed by Charles John Holmes, who worked for Ballantyne and became the manager for Vale.

This copy of Lyric Poems is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.

6 week online course by Dr Tobias Capwell. From his post:

"'The Knight in Art : 1066-1918' runs for six weeks, with two lectures happening back to back on Thursdays. Don't worry about time-zones, if you are distant from GMT everything is recorded for student catch-up, and questions can be asked anytime through the course portal, which will also provide course resources, reading lists, course chat, etc. We are going to cover A LOT of ground in twelve lectures, from cinema, the Bayeux Tapestry, the Crusades, Tournaments, Military Saints, Henry VIII, Negroli, the Eglinton Tournament, Electrotyping, medieval revivalism in fashion, medievalism in the First World War, and of course, armour. I'll be joined by several contributing lecturers, including of course Angus Patterson, Senior Curator of Sculpture, Metalwork, Ceramics & Glass at the V&A, responsible for metals and arms and armour. Angus and I will also be presenting a series of short films as part of the course, running round the museum and discussing things that interest us."

What do you think about the motto by Ava max

I can't believe I haven't heard of this song before and as a lover of Electrotype music and a few of Tiesto's songs, I highly enjoyed this. To me, this song screams ESTP, or maybe even an INTJ on a very unhealthy Se grip, but normally ESTP, especially the music video, the music video has ESTP vibes everywhere, but yeah this song is all about enjoying yourself, being hedonistic, not caring what others think, bringing in more people to the party, doing more risky things that bring about adrenaline to some way shape or form which will bring about further good times. All in all heavy Se energy going on here.
