The last two days have been filled with the beauty of the printed word, specifically sacred texts and historical books, that of which I have only read about. Yesterday we visited the British Library, after two hours absorbing an amazing Chinese Printmaking exhibit and standing in front of books like the first New Testament, written in Greek in the 10th century; Gutenburg's 42-line Bible; a 10th century Bhagavad Gita, plus others like Mozart and Bach's music, all written by their own hand; I ran out of time and think I may have to go back, just to look once more, in amazement. Today was St. Bride's Printing Library. I was able to sit and look through the pages of Bibles printed by Baskerville himself, as well as drawings by Mathew Carter and Eric Gill himself, the Gill Sans drawings. I am running out of time so I have to type quickly, last night I went to a 17th century pub where the Doves Press and Kelmscott press sat! I wil post links later- gotta run!
