OF

F ALL the craftsmen that work on the printed book, the ink maker has received least comment and least commendation. Hundreds of volumes have been written in praise of books, and almost as many have been given to appreciation of the design of the type, to singing the praises of good paper, and to discussing the ingenuity and skill of the makers of presses. But you will be hard put to it to name off-hand a single person who has sung the praises of ink, plain, every-day printer's ink.

Books can be made without types or presses. Indeed, they have been made with them less time than without. Four centuries and a half mark the use of types for book production, and many times that number of centuries looked down on the toil of scribes who lived before Gutenberg and Koster. Books have been made without paper. Witness the thousands of parchment and vellum volumes, and the hundreds of works turned out this very day in the Orient on palm leaves and similar substances. But to find a time when books could be made without ink you have to go back to the dawn of what we call civilization and pick up the clay tablets of Assyria and Babylonia.

Why this apparent neglect of ink in the anthology of books?

It is scarcely fair to say it is another case of Fothergill Finch and his sonnets to a garbage pail. There is, to be sure, little of the delight to be found in looking at black ink, as such, that one can get in studying the shapes and fancies designers have used for their various fonts and faces of letters. Presses have been drawn on for decoration, certainly the old hand presses; and quite possibly even a modern newspaper web press may have been conventionalized and worked into the decorative features of book or poster. But certainly no one has yet succeeded in using ink as anything more than a handmaiden, useful and faithful and commendable in every way, but without the graces of her sisters.
