Knots Untied or, Ways and By-Ways in the Hidden Life of American Detectives by George S. McWatters, 1871

The title page from the 1964 "Alphabet", an international annual of letterforms, a magnificent production put together by the highly regarded ICI 'house' printers, the Birmingham based Kynoch Press. It was edited by R S Hutchings and published for them by James Moran and was the only volume of an intended series issued. The right page folds out to reveal the full alphabet. The main titling is Bodoni I think.
Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.

An interesting one this as this bold and quite powerful cover presaged what were to be major changes in the identity of British Railways in the next two years. This 'principal' services timetable was issued in conjuntion with the regional timetables that had been a feature of BR since nationalisation in 1948. For 'national' coverage one went to Bradshaw's Guide, a feature of rail travel almost since it was invented in the 1830s. This 'main line' timetable was amongst the first to be issued in the new larger format although it still carries the heraldic symbol of the British Railways Board and uses Gill Sans. The new "British Rail" title and logo would come into use in 1964/5 and finally in the latter year the 24 hour clock became standard. Nevertheless this timetable has many of the hallmarks of things to come. One oddity is that the title page note it is published by the British Transport Commission - an organisation technically abolished on 1 January 1963, six months before this was produced. It was printed at the Baynard Press, Sanders Phillips, in London.

A fine title page to the 1948 Golden Cockerel Press edition of the Homeric hymn to Aphrodite, translated by F L Lucas and with plates by Mark Severin.
ICI produced some wonderful technical publications - and this is no exception - a bold pattern paper cover based on a ladle and furnace, with a neat titling. Oddly, given that ICI owned the very fine Kynoch Press, this is printed at Curwen Press in Plaistow.

Seen forming part of an article in “The Fleuron Number V” edited by Stanley Morison and published by the Cambridge University Press in 1924. The article is about the work of Karl Klingspor by Julius Rodenberg, Leipzig, and was translated by Anna Simons. This two page example is from the 1924 printing of Gerhard (Gottlob Eusebius Fischer) “Liebes ABC” from 1820, the edition designed by Hans Bohn and printed using Tiemann Antiqua.
Karl Klingspor (1868 - 1950) was one of the two brothers who took over their father’s typefoundry in Offenbach am Main and that was renamed Schriftgiesserei Gbr. Klingspor in 1906. He was a noted type designer and typographer who, commissioning other important designers, helped the concern become one of the most noteworthy amongst German typefounders.
In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.

Unbeknownst to many, Los Angeles has served as one of the most important oil provinces on the planet. From the initial discoveries near the turn of the 20th century, through the roaring 1920s, and into the present, oil has often guided and defined the development of the city. What's interesting, however, is that this fact is so often eclipsed by Los Angeles' well-documented histories as a center of film, entertainment, boosterism and agriculture. Forgetting Oildorado excavates the city's rich oil history, examines the slow decline of the local industry, and uncovers many of the active oil fields that lie hidden in plain sight, in the very midst of this teeming city.
This 120-page book includes text based upon Frank Ruchala Jr.'s monumental examination of Los Angeles' oil history, oiLA, with historical imagery sourced from Early California Oil by Kenny Franks and Paul Lambert. All other photography was shot by me, using a combination of Digital SLR, 35mm SLR, Medium Format Holga, and 35mm Lomo cameras.

Dust jacket for book by Yugoslavian writer and dissenter Mihajlo Mihajlov. His book Moscow Summer is critical of the Soviet Union. In 1966 he was arrested and sentenced to jail by the Soviet authorities. The book has a foreword by Myron Kolatch, the editor of the New Leader, a publication that Lubalin designed (p.67). The design of Moscow Summer relies on the mon umental power of a block of tightly spaced typography redolent of prison bars, and in its utilization of an unusually vibrant colour palette. Client: Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Date: 1965. www.uniteditions.com
