Hogarth Press: Introduction

The fame of the Hogarth Press is closely associated with the literary reputation and influence of its celebrated owners, and the importance of the Press in the history of twentieth-century literature and publishing stems from the writings to which the Woolfs gave an audience.
The exhibition, "Seventy Years at the Hogarth Press," which coincides with the publication of a new, expanded edition of Woolmer's Checklist of the Hogarth Press (1986), provides an opportunity to view over seventy selections from this comprehensive collection of Hogarth Press publications at the University of Delaware Library.
The core of this collection was acquired from J. Howard Woolmer, the Hogarth Press bibliographer, upon completion of the first edition of his Checklist of the Hogarth Press (1976), and significant additions have been made over the past decade.

Underground press - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Voices from the Underground," an exhibition of the North American underground press of the 1960s; includes a substantial gallery of color images.
Police harassment of the UK Underground in general became commonplace to the point that in 1967 the police particularly focussed on the "source of the antagonism": the underground press.
The phrase underground press, especially underground newspapers (or simply underground papers) is, these days, most often used in reference to the alternative print media, independently published and distributed, associated with the countercultural movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Ricketts named the Vale Press after his house in the Vale, Chelsea.
Since Ricketts's stated aim in Vale Press books was to 'give a faithful reprint of the first editions, only obvious errors being corrected' it is not surprising that in prospectuses for reprints of early texts reference is made to the use of the 'earliest editions' and adherence to the 'original spelling'.
Vale Press books were published by the Hacon and Ricketts partnership as were books from Lucien Pissarro's Eragny Press, and wood engravings and lithographs by Ricketts's friends.

Epiphanius Physiologus: Christopher Plantin

Plantin declared his innocence and pointed out that he had been in Paris on business when the book was printed, but it was clear that the book had indeed come from his press.
In 1567 Plantin began the fund raising and preparations for the printing of one of his most famous publications, the Polyglot Bible, a project that would not be completed for several years and that threatened to bankrupt the company.
Plantin returned to Lyons to apprentice with a bookbinder, married a woman of his master's household, and completed his training.

Dave Widgery: Underground Press (1972)

The underground press didn’t say what you thought, but it did somehow express how you feel.
The revolution of consciousness which the underground press had preached in 1968 had, in a warped way, succeeded.
But the underground press would still talk with a straight face about the alternative society implying that its experiments in new ways of living offered a blueprint for capitalism with a human face.

Mosher Press

Although Morris inspired the efflorescence of private presses that sprung into eager life between 1891 and 1910, his philosophy of design and typography was more influential than his Kelmscott books, which have been criticized for being made to be looked at rather than read.
Most of the presses that flourished at the turn of the century were the product of youthful enthusiasm.
hen Mosher published his first book in 1891, thereby founding the first significant private press (-1-) in America, the printing arts on this continent as well as in England were in ferment.

William Morris and His Circle

A year later, he determined to found a private press to realize his dream of printing the "ideal book." Thus began what he called his "little typographical adventure." Printing at the Kelmscott Press began in the spring of 1891.
There was also his passionate devotion to the Middle Ages and to everything they represented; romantic Medievalism informs Morris's literary output, as well as his arts and crafts work and the books from his Kelmscott Press.
They were specially designed to contribute to the total visual effect of the Kelmscott book, alongside the type, woodcut illustrations, paper, and ink, and were later imitated by scores of commercial and fine presses in England and (especially) the U.S. The initials were produced using a modern electrotyping process.
