Sender: Rare book and manuscripts <EXLIBRIS-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU>
Folks,
I'm looking for published or archival photos of Bruce Rogers that
were taken between about 1896 and 1915 and of D. B. Updike taken
about 1895 or before. I am particularly interested in photos of them
from their time at the Riverside Press. Anyone aware of sources that
have either of these? I do know of a fuzzy photo of Rogers sitting
at his desk at the Riverside Press in the book from the 2007 exhibit
on Rogers at the Gutenberg Museum Mainz.
I am also interested in when the use of the specific bookbinding
phrases "extra binding" and "bound extra" first began being used in
English. Google Book Search have a bookseller's catalogue from 1809
that uses one of the phrases but nothing earlier. OED is not helpful
in this matter. A bookbinders' price list from 1669 uses the term
extraordinary and ordinary in reference to edge decoration but no
where else. Thanks in advance.
