“The Art of Letterpress” is a brief documentary from The Folio Society demonstrating the craft of master typesetter Stan Lane, who has been creating beautiful volumes like the Letterpress Shakespeare series for a quarter century. Lane discusses the beauty of the labor-intensive process.
"Stan Lane, a master Typesetter and Printer, talked to us about the process of printing our Letterpress Shakespeare series.
Lane has been setting type for The Folio Society for 25 years and is one of the few craftsmen still skilled in the fine art of letterpress printing. Although labour-intensive, letterpress has a depth and elegance that modern printing cannot replicate."
