Inscriptions in the Graphic Arts Department at Harvard

Reproduction of an article by Philip Hofer (Harvard College Library) that appeared in PAGA, volume 1, no. 1, pages 10-12, 1953. It describes the collection at the Houghton Library in Harvard, and focuses a lot on the lettering and inscriptions of John Howard Benson. Hofer claims Benson is the best letter cutter of his generation, just as Eric Gill was the best in his generation.
