Ralph Fletcher Seymour
American designer, artist and publisher, b. Milan, IL, 1876, d. Batavia, IL, 1966. McGrew writes: Seymour is a private press type, designed by Ralph Fletcher Seymour for his Alderbrink Press in Chicago. In a 1945 book, the designer says, "With Goudy's help and Wiebking's matrice cutting and fitting machines I got my first typeface of type designed, cut, and finally cast and my first book printed from the type." The book he referred to was dated 1902. The type seems never to have been named-it could have been Seymour for the designer or Alderbrink for the press. |
