'Frederick Wilhelm Anthoensen (14 April 1882 - 13 August 1969) was a Danish-American printer and publisher. He founded The Anthoensen Press, a successor to The Southworth Press, in 1944. It was in business for 43 years. . . . In 1898, a 16-year-old Anthoensen began an apprenticeship at The Southworth Press. He became a full-time compositor in 1901. Sixteen years later, he had become the company's managing director. Anthoensen also wrote two books: John Bell Type: Its Loss and Rediscovery (1939) and Types and Book Making (1943). . . . He perpetually searched for old, lost or forgotten types and designs. This led to his possessing the country's largest collection of 'rare borders, flowers, and other typographical ornaments' from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Anthoensen's proof room was known for its ability to process complex academic writing accurately. From 1920 until after the conclusion of World War II, the Press printed books that were regular inclusions in the American Institute of Graphic Arts' 'Fifty Books of the Year' exhibitions.'.
