A Tribute to the Printer Aldus Manutius

Screen Shot 2015-03-01 at 07.03.34
There’s a new exhibition celebrating the work of Aldus Manutius, at the Grolier Club in Manhattan. It gathers a stack of books from Aldus’ press founded in 1494, in Venice. The NY Times has a fascinating article worth your time (along with a nice gallery of his fine old books).
