A propos de cet article

[Chicago: Goes Lithographing Company, c. 1950s–1960s]. Oblong 10¼ x 16¾ inches. Approx. 123 specimens, some folding, ranging in size from 3¼ x 5¼ to 14 x 17 inches. Triple-post binding; original cloth-tape spine over stiff pictorial wraps, tabbed sections. Gutter of front wrap with unobtrusive stain, very good. Almost all lithographed specimens are in fine condition. A scarce Atomic Age printing specimen book from Chicago’s Goes Lithographing Company. In 1871, Indiana-native Charles B. Goes (1855–1910) removed to Chicago and started work as a typographer with the Chicago Herald. By 1881, Goes was established as a lithographer to the trade and his firm began producing their signature stock certificate blanks in 1884. Circa 1906, the Goes firm teamed up with the Harris Press Company on Cleveland and developed, according to company history, the first successful powered rotary offset press, ushering in the "offset" revolution in lithographic printing. The Goes firm kept their press on-site. Its sister press, kept by the Harris Press Company, was exhibited in 1966 by the Smithsonian Institution, commemorating the technological achievement of the two companies. Within the book are over 120 specimens of stock certificates, coupon sheets, check forms, contracts, scrip and other security papers, insurance policy blanks, certificate of award blanks, and other blanks. Finely-detailed vignettes depict patriotic eagle vignettes or themed-illustrations for industries involved in agriculture, oil drilling, and mining ventures. One image suggests the an Atomic Age theme: Planet Earth is shown with the atomic nuclear symbol. In the background is a modern cityscape with a jet flying through the skies. Another image shows a winged angel above two men pulling and pushing a large gear into motion. Security features consist of watermarks and borders reproducing machine engraving. Certificates seen in multiples show color options, and all sheets are imprinted with a Goes inventory number. A useful and visual representation of the technical excellency and output capabilities of an important midwestern lithography firm; one that successfully innovated and pioneered industry technology. Goes Lithographing Company remained operational in Chicago until 2010 and they are now based in Wisconsin. OCLC 1298164318 returns one possible copy held at the California College of Arts in San Francisco. Their direct catalog entry provides no further details for comparison. A like-titled, but separate item, "Book no. 4-375" is seen per OCLC 427865587, University of Chicago only. This item is "Book No. C6-182". Last, Color Explosion, p189. From recent company literature: "1907 — Goes expands the line of Lithographed Blanks Stock Certificates, Bond and Charter Forms were among the products. These lines were designed and created specifically for sale through the printer on private security water marked papers.".…
