PRINT
June-July 1956

Lawrence Audrain (Editor): PRINT: AMERICA'S GRAPHIC DESIGN MAGAZINE. NYC: William Edwin Rudge, Volume 10, Number 3, June-July 1956. A near-fine original magazine with mild spine wear. Interior unmarked and very clean.

8.5 x 11 face-stitched magazine with 74 pages of editorial content and advertising. Print was devoted to showcasing the best in American Graphic Design, circa 1956. For this goal, the Publishers used a wide variety of paper stocks and printing styles for each issue. Print from the mid-to-late 1950s remind me of Herbert Spencer's Typographica, but without the cultural pretensions of the English magazine. Print was meat and potatoes compared to Spencer's elegant souffles.

Contents for this vintage issue of Print magazine include:

• Otsu-e of Tokugawa by Karl Kup
• Transaction Design by Seymour Robins
• Typographic Excellence: type directors club awards: Saul Bass, leo lionni, bradbury Thompson, Lester Beall, etc.
• Book Reviews
• Circles inthe Square; manhole design and street photography
• Columbia-- a new type face by Walter Mckay
• The Lion's Tail by L eo Lionni
