figure in the American Arts and Crafts Movement. Both his grandfather
and father were printers in Ohio. Influenced by the work of William
Morris and Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson, Dard Hunter traveled to
East Aurora, New York, to work with Morris's American disciples, the
Roycrofters. In 1911 he traveled to England, where he deepened his
interest in printing and developed a fascination with papermaking. He
afterwards devoted himself to the book arts, mastering the crafts of
type design, papermaking, and printing. His researches on the history
of papermaking are monuments of the field and include, among many,
Old Papermaking (1923), The Literature of Papermaking 1390-1800
(1925), Old Papermaking in China and Japan (1932), and
Papermaking by Hand in America (1950).
