30 pieces, various formats, chiefly single sheets, some illustrated. A collection of 30 pieces of ephemera (including one duplicate) from the Rocket Press. The Rocket Press started as the schoolboy hobby of Jonathan Stephenson, aged 13 in 1977, when he was introduced to the world of hand-typesetting and letterpress printing. When Stephenson left school aged 16, The Rocket Press became a professional printing studio equipped with Monotype casting machines and cylinder printing presses. In the two decades up to 1997 more than fifty books and pamphlets were designed, type-set and printed, several of them winning awards for fine printing. In 1997 Stephenson closed the letterpress studio and switched to digital typography. In 2015 the Lilly Library, University of Bloomington, Indiana purchased the entire archive of The Rocket Press from the years when it operated as a Fine Press between 1977 and 1997. Very Good.…
