Description
Edward F. O’Day’s 1927 essay Claude Garamond and his place in the Renaissance ; with context added from the note about Garamond from the Le Bé Memorandum written by Guillaume II Le Bé in ‘about’ 1624 with Harry Carter’s English translation — by chance, this document was rediscovered by Stanley Morison 70 years ago in 1952 ; and, 100 years have passed since Morison penned his Note on the Garamond Type for the 1923 Penrose Annual vol. XXV. A further note by Morison from A Tally of Types corrects his earlier attribution.
