Abundantly illustrated, this Typographic History proposes, in two volumes, to widely diffuse typographical culture. Here we learn, through text and image, the main milestones that led, in time, to the development of western typography, of which we are so familiar and see daily on our computer screens, yet remain in the dark as to its origins and the meaning behind the letters. This first volume covers the history of typography from its origins with Gutenberg, to the 17th century.
