If you are interested in the history of the book and printing, or as we like to say, “books about books,” look no further than Pitt’s Archives & Special Collections. This 1924 edition of Henry R. Plomer’s English Printers’ Ornaments is printed on hand-made paper and is limited to 75 copies, signed by the author. The book contains over 200 examples, organized according to decorative element, including borders, head and tail pieces, and initials.
