Hardback. Etat : New. Typographic Specimens is a collection of extraordinary creatures made entirely out of letterforms, numerals and punctuation marks. The book presents 60 'species' from the imagination of author and illustrator, A.W. Bainbridge, taken from a fictional manuscript by the Reverend Jackson Whitehead, who served aboard the HMS Pica sister ship to the Beagle during Charles Darwin s famous voyage in the 1830s. The menagerie of beasts, fish, fowl and invertebrates, all created from traditional typefaces, numerals and punctuation marks, ranges from the Bracket Spider or Hanging Parentheses , which traps its prey by encasing them in its finely bracketed web, to the Comma Cat, identifiable by its very short pause.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. In 1831, Reverend Jackson Whitehead served as chaplain aboard the HMS Pica, which accompanied the Beagle on its second survey expedition. Whitehead was a keen collector of fauna as well as a typography enthusiast. Upon realising that the majority of both ships' crews were either committed atheists or budding evolutionists, Whitehead embarked on creating a whole series of natural history specimens made up out of typographical characters. Only recently, after the restoration of Whitehead's ancestral home, has the manuscript of his work come to light. Edited by artist, A.W. Bainbridge, Typographic Specimens presents his menagerie of beasts, fish, fowl and invertebrates, all created from traditional typefaces, numerals and punctuation marks. AUTHOR: A.W.
