LETTERS FROM TITANIC George BEHE Fine Press Edition - 2023

This limited edition collates some of the most moving and poignant letters to be sent by passengers from RMS Titanic, prior to and post her untimely sinking in the early hours of 15 April 1912. Set and cast in "Monotype" Imprint with Gill Sans Light and Caslon display. The Imprint typeface was designed in 1912, the year of Titanic’s fateful voyage. In the same spirit of pioneering technology, it was the first type to be designed specifically for machine composition and was to prove that new technology could be just as good as the traditional hand-composed type. This edition has been letterpress-printed on 150gsm Bockingford mould-made paper and hand bound at the craft bindery of Blissetts, Royal Warrant Holders in London. Each copy contains a piece of letterpress printed ephemera, reproduced from original material.
