 Series
Identifier: Series 14.

Scope and Contents

This series contains miscellaneous and largely ephemeral materials relating to Frederic W. Goudy, including sheets of his correspondence; newspaper cuts from 1936; a 1941 advertisement Goudy made for the Underwood Typewriter Company; miscellaneous matrices, and types of monograms and fleurons; and an example of the letterhead of his uncle, A. K. Goudy, Nebraska State Superintendent of Public Instruction from 1891 to 1895. Of special note are Goudy's work hat (in fact, the last of several), the subject of Earl H. Emmon's oft-printed poem, "Le Chapeau immortel"; and two files of materials relating to Florence E. Duvall, the Claremont native (ex Pomona College class of 1925) who served as Goudy's amanuensis during the last years of his life, and who donated the work hat and many other items in the collection.
