Description
Harry Lawrence Gage wrote this 1920 handbook for printers, number forty-three in the Typographic Technical Series for Apprentices, published by the Committee on Education of the United Typothetae of America. Its full title promises the principles of arrangement, with brief comment on the periods of design that most strongly influenced printing. Gage writes for apprentices who must make printed work both useful and pleasing.
Contents move from an introduction and the surface through materials and qualities of design to proportion, balance, symmetry, variety, motion, and ornament. A later section treats the periods of design that most affected printing, with supplementary reading, review questions, and a glossary at the end. It is a clear, practical guide to layout, still useful for students of typography and book design.
