Jack Golden [Guest Art Director]

Nanci Lyman  [Editor]: PRINT: AMERICA'S GRAPHIC DESIGN MAGAZINE. NYC: Volume 14, No. 2, March/April 1960. Guest Art-Director for this issue of Print was Jack Golden. Perfect bound and side stapled thick printed wrappers with fold-out cover. 100 pp. Illustrated articles and advertisments. Multiple paper stocks. Interior unmarked and clean. Wrappers lightly rubbed and worn. A very good copy.

8.5 x 11 face-stitched magazine with 100 pages of editorial content and advertising. Print was devoted to showcasing the best in American Graphic Design, circa 1959. For this goal, the Publishers used a wide variety of paper stocks and printing styles for each issue. Print also had the radical idea of having a Guest Art Director design each issue, thus insuirng the magazines' fresh look. Print from the mid-to-late  1950s remind me of Herbert Spencer's Typographica, but without the cultural pretensions of the English magazine. Print was meat and potatoes compared to Spencer's elegant souffles.

PRINT started out under the auspices of William Rudge and played a significant role in the fine press and typographic movements in the mid- twentieth century. Each issue of this beautifully-designed and printed quarterly magazine stands as an essential reference for the private press and fine printing activity of the period.
