The Pleasures of Printing ; Number 2 : occasional periodical issued by The Baynard Press, London : [1956]
The Baynard Press, Sanders Phillips & Co Ltd, were based in Chryssell Road, London, SW9, and were acknowledged as being one of the finest commercial printers in the UK during the mid-Twentieth Century along with others such as the Curwen Press, Kynoch Press and the Shenval Press. The Baynard produced literature and posters for a wide range of clients, such as London Transport, and worked with an impressive list of artists that at various times included Fred Taylor, Edward McKnight Kauffer, Austin Cooper, Barnett Freedman and 'Shep', the latter being Charles Shepard, a noted designer, who was also head of studio at the Press.
Whereas the Curwen, for example, had issued a newsletter in the pre-WW2 years, it was not until the mid-1950s that The Baynard Press ventured to produce an occasional periodical known as "The Pleasures of Printing". The first issue appeared in 1955 and this, the second, would appear to be from the following year.
It continues the story of T E Griffits, the Press's most famous lithographer, and also includes an article on the work the Press undertook for many years for The Orient Line. The cover is by Leonard Appelbee.
