ATF Keepsake
End result of Chris Chen's and my efforts in producing a keepsake for the 2006 American Typecasting Fellowship meeting in Los Angeles. Chris cast both the Bradley Combination Ornaments from the original ATF mats at the Dale Guild and also the 30 pt Monotype Garamont on our Monotype sorts caster. The Linotype is 14 pt Garamond #3, and this was printed on a 10x15 C&P new style press, now entering its 50th year in my ownership and use. Chris did the hand setting and layout and his expert planing meant there was no makeready, though on gross enlargement possible with a scan, I see we could have added some more ink and maybe about .002" in packing. Schiller was noted for his complex pictures made entirely from type. Schiller remained active all during the 1920s into the 1960s, and the Inland Printer featured many of his type creations over several decades.
