Notes

General Note
"This book was set in a typeface called Cochin, named for Charles Nicolas Cochin the younger, an eighteenth-century French engraver. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Cochin was as much an engraver as a designer, and was deeply interested in the techniques of the art. Mr. Henry Johnson first arranged for the cutting of the Cochin type in America, to be used in Harper's Bazaar. The Cochin type is a commendable effort to reproduce the work of the French copperplate engravers of the eighteenth century. Cochin is a versatile face and looks well on any kind of paper. The italic is delightful. Composed by Creative Graphics, Allentown, Pennsylvania. Printed and bound by R.R. Donnelley & Sons, Crawfordville, Indiana. Designed by Iris Weinstein"--Colophon.
