The Shenval Press now lives in Soho - advert for the Shenval Press, 1946
The Shenval Press were one of the more important protagonists of quality typography, design and printing in the UK during the mid-20th Century and were printers of various of the 'quality' typographical journals of the day. This fine advert from a post-WW2 copy of Alphabet & Image includes a charming sketch of their Soho, London, address by Hugh Casson.
It appears that, decades later, the Press ended up in a bizarre mess thanks to one of the Shand family who managed it - www.sfo.gov.uk/about-us/annual-reports--accounts/annual-r...
