The Philip Hofer Collection in the Houghton Library - A Catalogue of an Exhibition of Philip Hofer Bequest in Department

Klappentext Philip Hofer! who founded the Department of Printing and Graphic Arts in the Houghton Library! was a curator and collector of great zeal and singular taste. In this exhibition catalogue his successor! Eleanor Garvey! explores the rich legacy Hofer bequeathed to Harvard: extraordinary manuscripts! writing manuals! illustrated books! and examples of fine and unusual printing. The objects of Hofer's fancy constitute a teaching collection and a scholarly resource of the highest kind. They also justify the reputation he earned over a long and unique career as the "Prince of the Eye."
