John Baskerville
|
|
(1706–75) Birmingham-based printer and publisher, responsible for many of the best-produced English books of the 18C. His name survives in the type which he designed – a clear-cut version of *roman and *italic, well suited to showing off the high quality of his printing and still in use today.
