A piece of Dwiggins on my shelf
Dr. J and Mr. H, by RLS
I recently received an amazing piece of history in my mailbox — a book designed, illustrated and signed
by William Addison Dwiggins (probably my favorite typeface designer). This edition of Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde was printed by the Pynson Printers in 1929 by the New York-based, Alfred A. Knopf publishing
house (later, Random House Publishing).
Bethany, I thank you for your sharp eyes as you found this gem and most importantly, sent it my way.
Forever grateful. I'll keep it safe and away from future rodents.
