This week we present some more non-Roman type from the 1908 type specimen book Some Specimens of the Roman, Oriental, and Foreign Types Now in Use in the Offices of William Clowes & Sons, Limited, published at the Clowes head office in London. Clowes was founded as a printing company in 1803 by William Clowes in London. By the early 1820s, Clowes became a pioneer in the use of steam-powered printing in England, and by mid-century William Clowes & Sons was one of the largest printing companies in the world, and is still in operation today. This specimen book presents all the fonts in use by the company at the turn of the 20th century.

Work(s) in progress. Here we are seeing type that is set but not printed for Understanding This Book, folios printed late last winter for the same title, and the prototype for UTB, along with the basic idea for a miniature accordion-fold book titled Hail, Holy Queen, which will feature a collage recently posted here, made from prints of drawings by JoAnna Poehlmann. These projects are top priority for the next 30 days, attempting to complete them both in time for the Oxford Fine Press Book Fair, which is December 9-10, only three months earlier than expected. Not especially happy about not having all winter to work on these projects, but so much of the way things go is out of one’s own control, so we have no choice, really, but to roll with it.
Did I spend an hour today tracking down the exact font that is used for the handwritten notes in Erin's Diary, just to make sure that part of the cover image for my bind of "Making Moves" meets my exacting standards?
There's no proof...
In other news, Erin's handwriting is suspiciously similar to "Sue Ellen Francisco"
