A disastrous fire at the printers led to the closure of the press, and Ricketts turned increasingly to painting and sculpture over the following two decades. [Tate]Lucien Pissarro was a French landscape painter, printmaker, wood engraver, designer, and printer of fine books. His landscape paintings employ techniques of Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism.Subjects: Printing -- Great Britain; Type and type-founding; Handmade papers; Printers' devices; Private press books; Typefaces; Typography And Check out our other items!
