Treasure Gems is a booklet produced annually by members of the Amalgamated Printers Association (APA). Each participating printer submits 110 copies of their page (or pages) to a coordinator who assembles/collates the books and sends them back to the printers. My submission was a description of the advent of printing -- taken from a bookplate dated 1751. (The original bookplate was sold on ebay for a price I was unwilling to contemplate.) Specs: The page is printed on Hahnemuhle Ingres 95gm/m2 white paper. The paper comes in 19" x 25" sheets. (I cut them down to 4.5" x 6" using my Multigraph cutter.) The paper was purchased from Pearl Paint. The type is set in 12pt. Joanna, a face designed by Eric Gill in 1930-1931. The type comes from Harold Berliner. The crown is a copper electrotype, the brackets are wood, and the thistle is a dingbat from Sterling Typefoundry. |
