Summary[edit]

Description A fine example of the work of Edward Johnston - calligrapher and letterer of the twentieth century who is regarded as having played a pivotal role in renaissance of British lettering and typography. This card - and booklet cover - is for the Hampshire House Trust in Hammersmith, west London. At about this time, 1915, Johnston was at work on what was to become his most famous work - the lettering for the Underground, a famous 'sans' face - although the 'arts and crafts' Johnston often felt that he'd compromised in undertaking work of such 'industrial' nature.
