Emery Walker: Man of Letters
Explore a history of lettering through the eyes of Emery Walker. From the origins of typography via the Gutenberg Bible, William Caxton, William Morris, and influential small presses, see how these have influenced contemporary typefaces.
This exhibition combines a selection of letters, books and archive material to highlight Walker's influence on the greats of the Arts and Crafts Movement and his role in the 19th-century renaissance of typography and the production of the book.
Taking inspiration from the Emery Walker collection, Illustration and Graphic students from the University of Gloucestershire demonstrate how his legacy lives on through the power of type. For further details please see the press release on this exhibition.
