A Bodoni Keepsake; The art of printing sadly needed a master in the middle of the eighteenth century .
Published by John Henry Nash, San Francisco, CA, 1925
Book
No Binding. Condition: Collectible-Very Good. Original keepsake printed on beige paper in black lettering. 12 1/2" x 19." Unpaginated, four pages (one leaf folded into quarters and printed on four sides), complete. One tipped-in color plate, a portrait of Bodoni, complete. Keepsake is very clean and intact except for slight darkening (mostly along the edges), slightly bumped corners, and slight wrinkling. A Very Good copy. A keepsake that pays tribute to Giambattista Bodoni (1740-1813), an Italian printer, typographer, type designer, compositor, and publisher. Bodoni worked in Parma and was considered a master printer. He achieved celebrity status in his career, and people flocked to see him at work in his studio. Benjamin Franklin, a fellow printer, even wrote him a fan letter. This keepsake was printed by the noted Bay Area printer, John Henry Nash. Colophon printed at bottom on front: "This keepsake is sent out by the Zellerbach Paper Company to the friends and patrons of the house. The oil painting of Bodoni was specially done by Henry Raschen. The text is by Edward F. O'Day. Printed by John Henry Nash of San Francisco in December, MCMXXV.".
