Limited Edition. 4to. 65 pages. Number 44 of a special limited edition of 500 cloth bound copies signed by the President of the Society, David Plumb. The development of typography as a profession is an exciting but involved subject. At one time the printer was his own typographer and historically the words were synonymous. But specialisation has affected the printing and allied industries like others, with particular reference to the burgeoning of advertising. Part of the general development, and indeed interacting with it, is that of the Society of Typographic Designers, which celebrates its fiftieth anniversary this year (1978). It began life as the British Typographers Guild and limited its membership to those who could pass its difficult `copy fitting' test. Mostly former compositors, the members were scornful of those layouts which needed `soleing and heeling' before they could occupy the space required. A campaign of education in the shape of lectures, exhibitions and publications was interrupted by the war of 1939-1945, but after hostilities had ceased the Guild got back on its feet. From about 1951 though it found that the scope of typographic design had widened. The graphic designer, though long in existence, began to take on a more leading role in the preparation of printed material. In 1953 therefore the Guild felt it was time for a change of name and approach. The title `Society of Typographic Designers' was adopted and it opened its ranks to those graphic designers whose work reached its high standards. This anniversary book traces not only the history of this key society but is a guide to the general tendencies in typography and printing since 1920. As such it covers new ground and should be a valuable addition to the literature of the graphic arts. Size: 4to. Signed by the President the Society, David Plum.
