Printed by permission of Frederic T. Goudy
Scope and Contents
This subseries consists of print copies, drafts, and proofs of writings by Frederic W. Goudy. The materials are primarily articles, but include a number of separately published pieces, including Ands and Ampersands (1936), Notes on Legibility (1944), and the catalog An Exhibition of the Rural Arts, held in connection with the 75th anniversary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (1937), designed by Goudy. The materials include a number of broadsides, including the first draft (1931) and various printings of The Type Speaks and the Tribute to Bertha M. Goudy (1936). The materials also include proofs, signed and annotated by Goudy, for various pages of The Alphabet (1918) and Typologia (1940), as well as a number of proofs and notes damaged in the fire that destroyed Goudy's studio and workshop in January 1939, and-- with the exception of an annotated proof sheet for "Evening at Deepdene" (1923)--too fragile to process separately.
