Handbook of Printing by W S Cowell, Ipswich, 1947
A wonderful book issued by the then well-known printing house of W S Cowell based in Ipswich, Suffolk, and who were part of the mid-twentieth century 'revival' of printing that was seen in some parts of the UK printing industry. Cowell's in some ways bridged the gap between the 'fine' and craft print houses and fully commercial bulk printers - this post-war publication was designed to show the depth and breadth of their offer - showing typefaces as well as processes available. To illustrate these they reproduced sections, examples and pages from various publications using some of the finest commercial artists and illustrators.
