{"product_id":"fleischmann-on-punchcutting","title":"Fleischmann on Punchcutting","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1994 publication is a significant piece of typographic detective work. It centers on a 1766 manuscript discovered by scholar Frans A. Janssen, which provides a rare first-person technical account of the art of punchcutting. Janssen concludes the text was written by the legendary German-born punchcutter Johann Michael Fleischman. The content is notable for its vigorous defense of counter-punches and its sharp, professional “sniping” at Fleischman’s famous French contemporary, Pierre-Simon Fournier. For the book designer and historian, the volume is a dual treasure: it contains Fleischman's rare technical insights and is itself a specimen of his work. Bram de Does hand-set the text in a 12-point Fleischman Roman from 1738, utilizing historical type cast during the Charles Enschedé era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48610319565040,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/7040\/9508\/files\/FleischmanonPunchcutting.jpg?v=1783796879","url":"https:\/\/ksmallgallery.com\/products\/fleischmann-on-punchcutting","provider":"Katherine Small Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
