Archiv für Buchgewerbe und Gebrauchsgraphik, 1926 - Heft 8 : advert issued by der Bauershen Giesserei for Extrafette Bernhard Kursiv
The marvellously produced German periodical, the Archiv für Buchgewerbe und Gebrauchsgraphik, that ran for many years detailing elements of printing, typography, book design and production and that often, in specific issues focussed on one specific topic of interest. As well as the text and articles, the adverts can be as fascinating.
Most issues had covers designed by an artist or designer who was also featured in one of the issues articles. In this, Issue 8 of 1926, the cover is by Hans Bohn (1891 - 1980), the noted German type designer who over the decades designed typefaces for Klingspor, Ludwig & Mayer and Stempel. This page is a splendid advert issued by the famous typefoundry " der Bauershen Giesserei" for their Extrafette Bernhard Kursiv typeface. This face, issued from 1911 as Bernhard-Antiqua along with Bernhard-Kursiv was first issued by Flinsch and later by Bauer. It was designed by Lucian Bernhard (1883 - 1972).
