Remarkable Institution In
Jersey City Which Should
Have International Re
nown Its Collections.
By FREDERICK R. TOOMBS.
RACTICALLY UNKNOWN to tbe
world at large, the Historical
Library and Museum of the
American Type Founders com­
pany in Jersey City, N. J., is an Institu
tion that will, when It receives its
rightful meed of recognition, have in
ternational renown. Tbe purpose of
the library and museum Is to preserve
the memory of printers and their
achievements and to illustrate tbe de
velopment and progress of printing in
all periods, particularly in America.
Under the supervision of an acknowl
edged expert on the printer's art a
collection of practically priceless specl
mens of ancient and modern printing
and of. objects connected with or re
lated to this "art preservative of arts"
Is being made. As the library Is open
to the public during tbe regular busi
ness hours of each day without charge,
the typefoundlng company Is thus
conducting what is practically a free
school of instruction in printing and
typemaking tt\£t promises to become
one of the chief centers of interest of
the publishers and typotbetae and their
associates in this country and abroad,
and the highly diversified nature of
the exhibits will attract tbe uninitiated
public as well.
The expense incurred In the main
taining of this library and museum
proved that at least one business cor
poration exists that has a soul above
revenue for dividends only, in direct
opposition to the popular theory, for
tbe expense of conducting this non
earning department" rami into an Im
mense annual sum.
In addition to ancient and mediaeval
specimens of the printers' and type
makers' arts, whatever of the modern
products that have particular value or
peculiar interest are included. An idea

of the comprehensiveness of the ex
hibits may be gathered from tbe num
ber of departments In which the speci
mens are classified, principal among
which are tbe following:
pres­
ent time.
Histories of printing sad publishing:
Biographies of famous printers.
Books printed by famous printers of all
periods In all countries.
Books of historic Interest.
First Issues of newspapers, msgs tines
and books In all states of the Union.
Books relating to engraving, with ex
amples of famous engravers.
Portraits and autographs of fsmous
printers and typefounders.
Medals relating to typography.
Curiosities of typography.
Books relating to papermaklng.
Specimens of oommerclal printing of all
periods.
Collection of trade papers relating ,to
printing in all languages from the earliest
known to the present time.
Publications of printers' societies.
Text books of printing in all 1awgnii|**
One of the purposes of the collection
Is to preserve, a complete and contin
uous record of tbe printing art, il
lustrative of tbe earliest known days
of this style of reproduction with mov
able type Is a copy of a papal Indul
gence. The origin of these indulgences
Is well known, and the particular spec
imen In the typefounders' library Is
the oldest curio in the exhibit It was
printed about 1460. The best authori
ties state that it is a product of the
press of the great John Gutenberg,
whom most authorities agree made the
first movable type put into practical
use.
While the origin of printing Is cred
ited to the Chinese, who as early as 60
B, C. are known to have used crude
engraved blocks for the purpose of
making reproductions with Ink on pa
per, and with them In 825 A. D. print
ed Chinese classics for the Imperial
college of Pekln, It was Gutenberg,
though he became an evicted debtor
for money lent, who laid the founda
tion of the gigantic printing industries
of today.
The wording of the Indulgence Is In
Latin, on vellum, in large black type.
Next In point of antiquity is a large
folio done by Jensen in 1470, and then
follows a copy of the noted Koberger
Bible printed in 1480.
One of the objects of predominating
Interest is a copy of the famous Nu
remberg Chronicle, printed by Kober
ger In the city of Nuremberg-In 1408.
The work is a history of the world
from the creation to 1293 and has over
2,000 woodcut Oinstratlons. It
the first great book to,be produced on
a printing press. In designing'and
engraving these cuts the celebrated AV
if %T"
Of Printing
An Exhibit Which Recalls
How the Arctic Eagle, the
Farthest North Newspaper.
Was Printed.
bert Durer served his apprenticeship,
and it is almost useless to add that
he became tbe leading engraver, etch
er, designer, painter and architect of
his time and, in truth, a master artist
of the world.
The Chronicle shows all the historical
personages from the time of the crea
tion to about tbe date of lt^publica
tlon. Adam, for instance, is given con
siderable free advertising, as there is
no record that his heirs or estate ever
paid for the space allotted him, and
perhaps that Is the reason we do not
find his career described in many of
the more modern works of a historical
or biographical nature. Adam is shown
in all his pristine glory in the garden
of Ede% and he is later shown to
scoffing world after banishment there
from. The imaginative Durer has
sketched him afar off alone In a bar
ren field, working a never ending fur
row with a crudely fashioned garden
Implement He is the original man
With the hoe. This Illustration is both
symbolic and portentous In that It
shows that the world's first husband
for bis misdeeds was compelled to go
to work.
Strange as It may seem, the type
founders' museum evidences that the
best printing of all |Une waa done in
the early stages of the art "The
golden age of printing" was that first
half century that inarked tbe growth
of the typographical child into an ac
tual, potential something—1400 to 1600.
Those dates do not mean much to the
average citizen of today—days of In
quisition, of eye gouging, of ear dip
ping, of burning alive, of superstition
and Intolerable bigotry and ignorance.
Yet between those dates the newly
fledged art of printing rose to and
flourished at a height, at a degree of
excellence, from an artistic viewpoint
that is unattalned today. The libra
rian at tbe museum himself admits
that the finest specimen of typograph
ical work in the entire collection is a
book done by Nicholas Jensen at Ven
Ice, published in 1479. Jensen, In spite
of his Scandinavian naxne. wae a na
tive of France, a papfl of Schoeflfer,
who waa a partner of QntsnfeMg.
The book is a work on tbe subject of
divinity. Done In black and red, wttb
red and blue Initials, which weee pat
In by hand. Its original selling price
was an amount that would equal be
tween $700 and $800 in American cur
rency today. One of the best selling
types throughout this country and
abroad during recent yean has been
a. reproduction of types cut by Jeneen
In 147Q, and today the best selling
types are those that are modifications
of the beet letters designed by tbe
printers daring the first half century
of printing and during which ttoci It
should be remembered, printen wen
compelled to'cat and cast their own
types. Today all tbla is done by this
typefounders. In addition to making
their own types, tbe printers of Jen
sen's day bad to make their own Ink
and their own presses. The only thing
they could buy was paper. Moreover,
they Invariably created their own
styles of type.
The reason that the printers of tbe
"golden age" excelled in the making
of type, etc., aa shown by study at tbe
collection now under consideration,
was that they imitated or copied In
their type the lettering of tbe original
manuscripts tbey received, and these
manuscripts were written at the period
when writing or manuscript prepara
tion had reached, what la conceded to
be perfection.
The collection shows, as already par
tially Indicated, the close association
of the Germans with the development
of printing and includes copies of the
first German newspaper issued In
America, the Philadelpblsche Zeltung,
published by Benjamin Franklin In
1782.
A copy of tbe farthest north newspa
per, the Arctic Eagle, published by
Anthony Flala of the Zelgler expedi
tion when near the north pqle, presents
an advertisement of "Dr. Vaughn's
Vegetable Vim Vigor, Bark Restorer
For Dumb Dogs."
The scene of the printing of the
Christmas number of the Arctic Eagle
was the interior of one of the little
bonk rooms of the Zelgler expedition
quarters at Camp Abrural (Rudolph Is
land, Franz Josef Land), latitude 81
degrees 47 minutes north, after the
loss of the yacht America. The lssu
lng of this newspaper is prophetic of
tbe time when barefooted Eskimo
news butchers will leap from glacier
to floe, floe to berg, crying: "Wurtry,
wuxtry! Whale blubber trust defies
Sherman law! Price two fishhooks
a copy!"
This parrntlve has necessarily omit
ted conrlt-i- Hen of .hundreds of In
teresting n: fact, priceless exhib
its In the and museum, which,
after ell. object in its formation
and maintenance hot before touched
on, and thnt Is. In the words of the
able and Indefatigable librarian blm
self, "TO form a collection and pre
serve the data from which one day
will be written tbe history of printing
throughout the world."
