Softcover. The typed title of this pamphlet is not accurately represented above, since the pamphlet is printed in a new Libra type, designed by Sjoerd Hendrick de Roos, that attempts to use a single design for each letter, rather than an upper and lower case representation of each. The creation of such a standard is the focus of this interesting inquiry, in which Wulling discusses the history of capital letters, the development of lower case letters that were easier to write and read, and the desirability of a unified form. Emerson Wulling initiated his first private press in 1915 (at the age of 12), which became The Sumac Press. He operated The Sumac Press for nearly 90 years. Octavo. Rose colored paper wrappers with title in red to front wrapper. Side-stapled. 6 unnumbered pages. Wrappers have minor wear; text is clean and bright. Printing of 90 copies. BOB/012924.
