With my best regards! Robert [Steiger]”.A typographer and graphic designer, Helmut Schmid has gained a reputation for an important body of work which he created in Japan predominantly. Having trained with Swiss typographer Emil Ruder at the Schule für Gestaltung Basel, the influence of Ruder and the school has been evident in Schmid’s work, including acknowledgement in many of his publications.Schmid attended the Schule für Gestaltung Basel on two separate occasions. During his second period of study, between 1964 and 65, he was admitted to an exclusive, small class lead by Emil Ruder and Robert Büchler, where he developed a unique personal approach. Following his studies, he became a successful exponent of Swiss typography, sharing his expertise readily with an international audience.Having worked extensively around the world, predominantly in Germany, Sweden, Canada, and Japan, Schmid established himself in Osaka in 1977, where he worked with and collaborated with numerous local designers and companies. His European design approach combined with the influence of Japanese culture lead to the creation of artworks of a harmonious cultural exchange—perhaps due to similar inclinations within the two cultures towards the use of space. However, it was during an earlier visit to Japan that Schmid created one of his most well known works: Katakana Eru, a syllabary face crafted in honor of Ruder between 1967 and 70.

Issued in celebration o the 250th anniversary of the birth of Giambattista Bodoni. Mosley's essay is entitled "Typography in England and France in the Age of Giambattista Bodoni." Martino Mardersteig's technical note is followed by a Bodoni Chronology.“This edition, designed and realized by Stamperia Valdonega in Verona, consist of two volumes: The facsimile, for which Bodoni’s texts were printed in flat bed letterpress with the frames and miniatures printed in nine color offset, on specially-made papers by Cartiere Magnani, Pescia, and the commentary, printed in letterpress and offset on Fedrigoni Bodoni Paper. The binding was carried out at Legatoria Recalcati in Milan.” From the colophon.

A pioneering documentation of Swedish mediaeval church paintings, lithographed after reproductions made on location by Mandelgren. In 1846 he had been granted appropriations to explore and document the art of Swedish mediaeval churches, with emphasis on the interior paintings. Following a conflict with the Director-General of the National Heritage Board however, the material was not published in Sweden. Mandelgren made all the lithographs himself, and the work appeared in parts in Copenhagen and Paris between 1855 and 1862, before the final result was published in Paris with a dedication the Emperor Napoleon III. On two of the plates there are elevations, sections, plans and detail drawings of churches, the others show wall and ceiling paintings and decorations.

The techniques of Gothic construction revealed by the architect and master builder Georg G. Ungewitter (1820-1864), a German pioneer of Gothic Revival architecture.
