Cloth Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Limited Edition. Facsimile of an edition originally published 1899; 600 copies. Publishers' maroon cloth. 37 pages; 9 inches tall. Spine has loss of color and sizing in spots; text clean. Charles Ricketts wrote and printed this to refute objections made by some critics most notable the American Albert Louis Cotton. The Defence begins with a discussion of the history of type design and the minutiae of creating a new typeface. Background Information: Richett's arranged to have the Vale Press publications printed at the Ballantyne Press as private press books by a carefully chosen selection of compositors, readers, pressmen and binders freed from the everyday demands of the press. [Watry] Charles Ricketts (1866-1931) was a British artist, illustrator, author and printer, known for his work as a book designer and typographer and for his costume and scenery designs for plays and operas. Ricketts first made his mark in book production, first as an illustrator, and then as the founder and driving force of the Vale Press (1896-1904), one of the leading private presses of the day, for which he designed the type and illustrations. A disastrous fire at the printers led to the closure of the press, and Ricketts turned increasingly to painting and sculpture over the following two decades. [Tate].

"Ralph Willett (1719-1795). His library was remarkably rich in early-printed books and in specimens of block-printing. Many works were on vellum, and all were in the finest condition. He possessed also an admirable collection of prints and drawings, while his pictures included several from the Orleans gallery and from Roman palaces. A description of the library was printed in octavo, in French and English, in 1776; it was reprinted by John Nichols, with twenty-five illustrations of the designs, in folio in 1785. A catalogue of the books in the library was distributed by Willett among his friends in 1790. Observations on the Origin of Printing,' by Willett, were included in 'Archæologia', and reprinted at Newcastle in 1819. As regards the birthplace of the craft, Willett decided in favour of Mainz. A second paper, 'Memoir on the Origin of Printing,' was included in the same collection, and was reprinted at Newcastle in 1818, and again in 1820." Pristine, no wear. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Red cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Size: Large 8vo. Book.
Condition: Very Good. Very Good condition. No Dust Jacket (History, printing history, Printers) A copy that may have a few cosmetic defects. May also contain a few markings such as an owner's name, short gifter's inscription or light stamp.
