Printing Types V2: Their History, Forms, and Use, A Study in Survivals (1922) is a comprehensive study of the history, forms, and uses of printing types by Daniel Berkeley Updike. The book is the second volume of Updike's two-volume work on printing types, and it covers the period from the late 16th century to the early 19th century. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of printing types, including the development of typefaces, the role of printers and typefounders, and the use of types in printing. The second part is a detailed study of the forms of printing types, including their design, construction, and use. The third part is a study of the survival of printing types, including the ways in which they have been preserved and the role they continue to play in contemporary typography.Throughout the book, Updike provides numerous examples of printing types, including illustrations and photographs, to help readers understand the forms and uses of different types. He also provides detailed descriptions of the production process for printing types, including the casting and cutting of typefaces.Overall, Printing Types V2: Their History, Forms, and Use, A Study in Survivals (1922) is an important reference work for anyone interested in the history and development of printing types. It provides a comprehensive overview of the subject and is an essential resource for typographers, printers, and graphic designers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
