Description

Like so many other Grolier Club publications of the period, this edition of Champ fleury was designed by Bruce Rogers; it was printed by William Edwin Rudge (1876–1931) of New York. Rogers redrew illustrations and diagrams from Tory’s work using photographic enlargements of the originals, and set the text in his elegant Centaur type. Shown here is Rogers’ own design mockup, with numerous proofs, drawings, layout designs, and annotations; it is inscribed on the flyleaf by Rogers to the Grolier Club and dated March 15, 1928.
