Abstract:In November 1888, influential printer and engraver Emery Walker gave a lecture on historical typefaces to the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, which featured lantern slide enlargements of early printed typographic examples. These enlargements prompted William Morris to try his hand at type design. This article reconsiders Morris’s turn to typography and printing through a focus on both the scale at which he designed, and the combined luxuries of intensive study and contemporary technology that allowed him to do so. In examining both the enlargement technologies that made Morris’s designs possible, and the vital role of handwriting in his type design, the interdependence of craft and technology at the Kelmscott Press emerges.

照片、钢笔和印刷品:威廉莫里斯和排版技术

摘要:1888 年 11 月,有影响力的印刷商和雕刻家 Emery Walker 向工艺美术展览协会举办了一场关于历史字体的讲座,其中展示了早期印刷版式示例的灯笼幻灯片放大。这些扩大促使威廉莫里斯尝试字体设计。本文通过关注他设计的规模以及使他能够这样做的深入研究和当代技术的结合,重新考虑了莫里斯转向排版和印刷。在研究使莫里斯的设计成为可能的放大技术以及手写在他的字体设计中的重要作用时,Kelmscott Press 的工艺和技术之间的相互依赖出现了。
