Excerpts from Dard Hunter Exhibition (Harper Collins) Catalog

Dard Hunter (1883-1966) was an American Renaissance Man. He was not only a designer in the Arts & Crafts Movement in the early decades of this century, but also a private press printer, paper historian and author, collector and museum director. In 1996, a unique exhibit of his work, Dard Hunter & The Art of the Handmade Book, was held in New Yor City. The text for much of this exhibit appears in the following paragraphs. For information about future exhibit venues, please contact Cathleen Baker at cbaker@ua1vm.ua.edu.

At the end of this year, Red Hydra Press will publish a limited edition handmade production of Cathleen Baker's By His Own Labor - The Biography of Dard Hunter.
