Merrymount Press An Exhibition on the Occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Press

Daniel Berkely Updike (1860-1941) founded the Merrymount Press in 1893, which quickly came to represent the flowering of the Arts and Crafts movement in American book arts. At the same time, the quixotic and patrician Updike championed his vision of the "scholar-printer"--an artist whose work mixes a practical understanding of the printing trade with a deep knowledge of and reverence for the history of the book. This catalogue demonstrates the breadth and beauty of the Press's work, and the standard it set for commercial and fine printing.Hutner, Martin is the author of 'Merrymount Press An Exhibition on the Occasion of the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Press', published 2005 under ISBN 9780914630111 and ISBN 0914630113.
