ISBN10: 0900093137, ISBN13: 9780900093135, [publisher: Roundwood Press, Kineton, first edition, 1973] Hardcover First Edition Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm, xxviii, 494 pp, many plates, ills, facs. From the blurb: "Dr Johnson Ball's extensive researches into the background of England's most distinguished letter-founder have produced this definitive biography of the craftsman whose work marked an epoch in English printing. This is the first book to trace Caslon's ancestry. It records his birth at Halesowen, Worcestershire, his apprenticeship and his movements in London when he made tools for book-binders and silversmiths and engraved gun-locks for the Ordnance Office, before he became a letter-cutter of such superlative merit as to write his name imperishably in typographical annals. Ten pedigrees illustrate Caslon's connections. His master, Edward Cookes, was uncle to Shenstone the poet and to Caslon's first wife. Caslon's relations, the artists James, Amos and Benjamin Green of Halesowen link him with Baskerville in Birmingham and Edward Rowe Mores, the eccentric letter-founder historian, at Oxford. Caslon's first commission in letter-cutting was an Arabic fount for the S.P.C.K., founded by Dr. Thomas Bray, in its first enterprise in foreign missions. But earlier, Jonathan Carpenter of Halesowen had married Bray's daughter and his brother John had become Bray's curate in London. However, Thomas Hollis, benefactor of Harvard, had ...
