Description

Henry Lewis Bullen was the founder and curator of the Typographic Library and Museum of the American Type Founders Company, Jersey City, New Jersey. In 1936 the firm sold its library to Columbia University. This volume reproduces a catalog of the sale of duplicate sets of the typefaces created by the American Type Founders Company, and as such, is an essential historical document chronicling the development of major printing typesets in America.
