A History of Type Design: Stanley Morison, 1889–1967 (London, England)

Using a variation on the Japanese frottage technique of Takuhon, curator Gavin Morrison and artist Scott Myles have taken impressions from the headstones of prominent type designers and then turned them into limited edition lithographs. Each one is printed at 100% of the original rubbing. And each one is a total stunner. Here’s ol’ Stanley Morison’s as originally cut by Reynolds Stone. 

Although not shown here, this copy is numbered and signed by both Morrison (Gavin) and Myles.

Note: We’re not entirely sure how we’ll ship this, so unless you come pick it up, know that it might take us a spell to get this packed securely.
