Printer and typographer Bernard Newdigate (1869-1944) positively gushes over the first volume in his "Book Production Notes" for The London Mercury: "The first number of The Fleuron is a brilliant piece of book-production. The book itself is a sumptuous production of the Curwen Press and shows, both in its general appearance and in nearly every detail, the care and skill and good taste which have conspired to the splendid achievement" (quoted by Ruari McLean in "The Most Underrated of Typographers," Matrix 6, pp. 172-3). "The Fleuron was an occasional journal of the arts of the book, in hardback form; it was a sumptuous publication which included the writings of many contemporary scholars as well as original work by artists, and specially composed type specimens of many types as they appeared. It had sprung from conversations between [Stanley] Morison and Oliver Simon, designer at the Curwen Press" (Sebastian Carter, in "Stanley Morison and Jan van Krimpen," Matrix 8, p. 117).
