By 1766 the foundry had moved to London, with Moore retiring in 1776 and Pine shortly after. In 1782 Fry took his sons Edmund (especially interested in exotic founts) and Henry into partnership, and made considerable purchases of Greeks and Orientals at the sale of James' foundry. Joseph retired in 1787 and in 1794 Isaac Steele joined as partner until 1808, when Edmund Fry was left in sole control until he admitted his son to partnership. In 1829 the foundry was acquired by William Thorowgood. A very good copy of this extremely rare and substantial specimen book. Berry & Johnson, p. 45; Mosley, 118 & 119.

In-8° (cm. 24 ca-), pp. 34. Brossura editoriale. Nitida veste tipografica della grande raffinata scuola del Libro di urbino. Peccato per le cifre a biro vede in cop. Alcune correzioni (che immaginiamo dell'Autore) FRUGONI, che "ghignando" l'Alfieri definì il "pomposo galleggiante scioltista caposcuola", si distinse anche per un "famigerato documento di miserabile antidantismo". per "vita disordinata... troppo spesso trasmormava la divina arte dei versi in un mestiere il più possibile utilitario". Non manca ahimè il colpo di coda di un reboante pistolotto finale di questo Cian, erudito da battaglie di carta, lui sì miserabilmente strisciante sotto il Fascismo dell' "Italia imperiale e mussoliniana" che in quell'anno di disgrazia allude senza dirlo alle leggi razziste in via di apparizone per "salvare e purificare la civiltà europea, avvelenata e sconvolta da una coalizione diabolica di forze distruttive". Ce l'ha con gli Ebrei il miserabile tapino. Tutto il valore di questo opuscolo giace nella veste tipografica urbunate.

Finito di stampare nel mese di novembre 2007 dalla Tipografia Ernani in Torino. Scritto in esclusiva per l'Agenzia...Il volume, in carta di puro cotone, ? stato confezionato tutto a mano con brossura cucita a filo e copertina foderata con carta vegetale. Il testo, impaginato rigorosamente secondo i canoni classici, ? stato composto a piombo su Linotype modello 5 del 1906 e stampato tipograficamente su macchina Nebiolo Atena del 1960. Per garantire l'assoluta unicit? di quest'opera...ogni pagina ? stata scomposta dopo la stampa. Il corredo di buste e biglietti decorati con i 21 capilettera originali creati da Piero De Marchi, ? un omaggio alla piccola ritualit? della scrittura a mano, e insieme un invito a riscoprirne il piacere. Alessandro Perissinotto, Torino 1964, insegna Sociologia dei processi culturali all'Universit? di Torino...Piero De marchi, graphic designer, ha iniziato la sua carriera nel 1956 con Aldo Novarese allo Studio Artistico Nebiolo...passione per il lettering...calligrafia espressiva...grafica.. progettazione di caratteri...tecnica di incisione. 1 cofanetto rigido cartonato muto, contenente: quartino della Presentazione; volume dell'ABBECEDARIO; formato cm.,34,5x24,5, pp. 71 (4), testo in colonna centrale, protezione in carta velina; contenitore-astuccio con un corredo di 21 buste e biglietti con i capilettera originali; il tutto in un cofanetto, muto, rigido il tutto nella stessa tonalit?.

OPERA UNICA, solo in 150 esemplari, nostro il 44, eccezionale per gli amanti dell'ormai antica arte di stampa... Questo racconto non ? un racconto, ? un abbecedario, un abbecedario della memoria, un insieme di ricordi elencati secondo l'ordine pi? arbitrario, quello alfabetico...gusto di raccontare cose vecchie, cose mie, cose che non hanno interesse neppure per l'antiquario, ma forse per il rigattiere?...superati i quaranta, anche i ricordi pi? banali assumono profondit?, spessore. assumono il valore affettivo del 'c'era una volta'
