| Sumario: | The article features publisher Charles Ricketts and examines the revival of printing in the 1890s. It is believed that the French Renaissance influenced the device that Ricketts designed for the firm of Osgood, McIlvaine and Co. in 1891. He used the Wechel design, which is a certain type of symbolic publisher's device used with dolphins, anchors, or trees. Ricketts's own device came out in 1891, which had its initial use on the title-page of "Intentions." |
