This edition, designed by Bruce Rogers is the first English translation of Tory's landmark work begun in 1523 and published 1529. Tory's influence on 16th century typography was immeasurablemoving French printing away from gothic types towards the roman faces, a movement that would define modern typography. D. B. Updike calls Tory's Champ Fleury "one of the important books in the history of letter design" (I, p. 188). A beautiful edition that took decades for Rogers to bring from a proposal to the Grolier Club to a printed edition. And of all he designed, it was among Rogers's favorite (#24 in BR Thirty). Tory's groundbreaking and forward-looking work had long been a classic text by the time Rogers designed this edition 400 years later. Now 100 years further on, Glaister adds his voice to this typographic tradition, and in his distinct style, takes these now-classic letterforms and nudges them into modernity. Haas 413. Grolier 361.
