The style of lettering ordinarily employed by Mr. Selwyn Image—a style of marked originality and distinction—is well exhibited in the design for a book cover, [98].
The name of Mr. Charles Ricketts is intimately associated with the Vale Press. The detail of the title-page reproduced in [100] shows a characteristic bit of his work.
Mr. J. W. Simpson, one of the younger British draughtsmen, uses a graceful and interestingly linked Roman form shown in the panel from a title-page, [90]. The bizarre
letter by the same artist, [91], is fairly representative of a style recently come into vogue among the younger British draughtsmen, which is related to a form of letter brought into fashion by the new English school of designers on wood, among whom may be mentioned Mr. William Nicholson and Mr. Gordon Craig, both of whom have done lettering distinguished by its indication of the medium employed. Figure [92] shows Mr. Nicholson's favorite type of letter
fairly, and the style of Mr. Craig's work is suggested by the title for a book cover in [94].
The book cover, [97], by Mr. Edmund H. New, shows variants of the Roman capital and minuscule forms, which closely adhere to classic models.
