Sites Ebooks. The Grolier Club - Home. Now through Saturday April 26 in our Ground Floor Gallery: "The Dean of American Printers: Theodore Low De Vinne and The Art Preservative of All Arts.
" This year marks the centenary of the death of Theodore Low De Vinne (1828-1914), one of the most important American figures of the 19th century book world. De Vinne was a founding member of the Grolier Club, and his De Vinne Press was responsible for most of the important Grolier Club works published during his lifetime. But he was also a leader in his profession (particularly in the development and adoption of new printing technology), a committed scholar in the history of printing, and an accomplished author of works on the origins and history of printing. The exhibition will feature more than 150 books, manuscripts, letters, photographs, and other objects illustrating De Vinne’s life and accomplishments, many drawn from the Grolier Club’s own collections.
