Theodore Low De Vinne (1828-1914) was the leading commercial printer of his day and is one of the most important figures in the book world of the nineteenth-century United States. Illustrating De Vinne's life and accomplishments, and published to coincide with the centenary of his death, this catalogue accompanied a Grolier Club exhibition. It contains books, manuscripts, letters, photographs, and other objects, many drawn from the Club's own collections. A detailed checklist and a foreword by the award-winning type designer Matthew Carter enhance the volume's usefulness for anyone interested in the history of the book.
