Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1936, Ray Nash (1905-1982), an American graphic-arts historian and calligraphy expert, established a hand press in the Baker Library, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. The Graphic Arts Workshop, as it was called then, with the imprint of The Baker Library Press, ran for some 25 years. Teaching, instruction and discussion were all part of the print programme. In 1989, three Nash students - Mark Lansburgh, Roderick D. Stinehour, and Edward Connery Lathem - re-established the Workshop. This initiative was aided by the kindness of the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Endowment that not only provided funding to re-establish the workshop in the Baker Library but also the support for a Fellow in the Book Arts. Today the Workshop provides students with access to a letterpress studio and a bookbinding studio. There they can mix inks, create posters and cards, and learn how to set type and bind a book. In the spirit of Nash and his students, the Workshop is open to all Dartmouth students and the Dartmouth community after they complete an orientation session.
In 2015, Dartmouth College celebrated the Workshop’s 25th Anniversary with an exhibition entitled: ‘The Secret Revealed. The Books Arts Workshop at 25 Years’. This exhibition showcased a selection of print and book arts materials produced by students and staff at Dartmouth over the years. To celebrate the University of Otago’s association with Dartmouth College through the Matariki Network*, this exhibition highlights a small selection of materials borrowed from Dartmouth’s Books Arts Workshop and Rauner Special Collections Library. Please enjoy.

Alongside the University of Otago, the other six are Durham University; Queen’s University; University of Tübingen; University of Western Australia; Uppsala University; and Dartmouth College.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The 2016 Book Arts Workshop instructors at Dartmouth College are Sarah M. Smith (the first full-time Manager since Nash’s retirement in the 1970s), Robert Metzler, Deborah Howe, and Won K. Chung. Local artists such as Stephanie Wolff also assist. Together they teach letterpress printing, bookbinding, illustration techniques, and other aspects of making books and other printed materials. Not only is a hands-on approach encouraged, but also active involvement with the rest of the Dartmouth College community. The Book Arts Workshop is situated in Rooms 21-25 in the Baker-Berry Library.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
American poet Robert Frost (1874–1963) attended Dartmouth College in 1892. Although Frost did not graduate, his legacy to Dartmouth College is lasting. The College Library houses one of the finest Frost Collections in the world: printed books, manuscripts and notebooks, correspondence, photographs and audio recordings. In 2010, Xin Su, a PhD student, took a break from his studies in Chemistry (graduating 2014), and printed Frost’s <em>Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening</em>, first written in 1922 and published in his <em>New Hampshire</em> (1923).

Students using the Dartmouth College Book Arts Workshop have access to two Vandercook electric presses, two iron hand presses, one treadle press, and a wide variety of metal and wooden type (Bank Script to 4-line Round Gothic), including characters for French, German, Greek, Hebrew and Spanish typesetting. There is also a stock of papers, book-binding tools, and guillotines to assist the book-making process. The Ray Nash Book Collection is nearby to provide inspiration. Here binding is represented by Sarah Smith’s work: a polka-dotted quarter-bound book.

In the early days of Dartmouth's Book Arts Workshop (when it was called the Graphic Arts Workshop) William H. Germer III applied his print and visual skills to produce this broadside. He no doubt took to heart Stevenson’s adage that ‘true success is to labor’, producing a delightful mix of text and visuals. The initials are particularly striking.

A summary of the resource.
The mission of the Book Arts Workshop is to introduce students to the craft of letterpress printing and hand bookbinding; to promote an understanding of the art and history of the printed and written word; and to expose the College community to the rich library resources available to them for scholarly research into the history of the book. Seminars and workshops are regularly scheduled, and each year a Book Arts Prize for excellence in printing and bookbinding is offered. Biology student Diane Jang was one who enjoyed the Book Arts experience. Her selection of words in <em>Lost for Words</em> (2015) created a work that communicated both visually and verbally.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1936, Ray Nash (1905-1982), an American graphic-arts historian and calligraphy expert, established a hand press in the Baker Library, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. The Graphic Arts Workshop, as it was called then, with the imprint of The Baker Library Press, ran for some 25 years. Teaching, instruction and discussion were all part of the print programme. In 1989, three Nash students - Mark Lansburgh, Roderick D. Stinehour, and Edward Connery Lathem - re-established the Workshop. This initiative was aided by the kindness of the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Endowment that not only provided funding to re-establish the workshop in the Baker Library but also the support for a Fellow in the Book Arts. Today the Workshop provides students with access to a letterpress studio and a bookbinding studio. There they can mix inks, create posters and cards, and learn how to set type and bind a book. In the spirit of Nash and his students, the Workshop is open to all Dartmouth students and the Dartmouth community after they complete an orientation session.
In 2015, Dartmouth College celebrated the Workshop’s 25th Anniversary with an exhibition entitled: ‘The Secret Revealed. The Books Arts Workshop at 25 Years’. This exhibition showcased a selection of print and book arts materials produced by students and staff at Dartmouth over the years. To celebrate the University of Otago’s association with Dartmouth College through the Matariki Network*, this exhibition highlights a small selection of materials borrowed from Dartmouth’s Books Arts Workshop and Rauner Special Collections Library. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Pressure printing is an alternative image-making technique by which a flexible plate (backing sheet) is placed behind the press sheet and run over a type-high, inked surface. The resulting image is made up of haloing ink from varying degrees of pressure from the backing sheet. Bridget Herrara used this technique to create Taino Myths (2012). The work was inspired by the annotations of Friar Ramon Pane, who was commissioned by Christopher Columbus in 1495 to live amongst the indigenous people of the island of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic) and transcribe their tribal beliefs and practices. Herrara printed on the Vandercook Press SP-20 using Stonehenge paper, which is thick enough to take the pressure. This limited edition of five won the Hand Book-binding Prize for 2012.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Ann Dunham is attached to the Mathematics Department at Dartmouth College. After tackling assignments on 3- or n-body gravitating problems and applying deterministic chaos to numerically generate music or an art piece, <em>The Barber Paradox</em> was no doubt a breeze to her. However, even though a fun item that is a reminder of past childhood games, it represents a complex piece of printing. It was completed in 2014 in an edition of three. The Barber image is extra!

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
When Ray Nash (1905-1982) arrived at Dartmouth in 1937, he made things happen. He started a graphic arts workshop, and from the beginning enthused students with courses on graphic arts and bibliography. As book designer, calligrapher and historian of graphic design, he continued his role as mentor and instructor until his retirement in 1970. He favoured a hands-on print-making approach, which was a great favourite with many students, many of whom became successful and influential book designers and typographers in their own right. He was not just a practitioner. He wrote books and articles, including his seminal ‘Education in a Workshop’. He was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and of the Society of Antiquaries of London. This photograph was taken in 1970, the year of his retirement.

In 1989-90, three of Ray Nash’s students – Mark Lansburgh, Roderick Stinehour, and Edward C. Lathem – re-established the Graphic Arts Workshop at Dartmouth College, aided by a generous endowment from philanthropists Kenneth and Harle Montgomery. A permanent plaque was created to commemorate both the event and Ray Nash’s pioneering work. Nash’s son John is a well-known calligrapher now based in London. Here is his beautifully crafted letter to Lathem, emeritus librarian and dean, hinting at some small changes to the text of the final version of the plaque.

Ray Nash was mentor to Alvin Eisenman (1921-2013), an American graphic designer and educator well-known for founding the Yale School of Art’s graduate programme in graphic design. Eisenman was a Dartmouth College undergraduate who was influenced by Nash and his professed functionalism towards design. Eisenman wrote that Nash was ‘a very wily teacher who knew how to put to good use the passing enthusiasm of a lazy student!’ While at Yale Eisenman recruited design masters like Alvin Lustig and Herbert Matter, and had among his students Garry Trudeau, the author of the comic strip Doonesbury, and Min Wang, who designed graphics for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Here are Eisenman’s reflections on Nash and Dartmouth.

In 1989, three Nash students - Mark Lansburgh, Roderick D. Stinehour, and Edward Connery Lathem - re-established the Workshop. This initiative was aided by the kindness of the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Endowment that not only provided funding to re-establish the workshop in the Baker Library but also the support for a Fellow in the Book Arts. Today the Workshop provides students with access to a letterpress studio and a bookbinding studio. There they can mix inks, create posters and cards, and learn how to set type and bind a book. In the spirit of Nash and his students, the Workshop is open to all Dartmouth students and the Dartmouth community after they complete an orientation session.
In 2015, Dartmouth College celebrated the Workshop’s 25th Anniversary with an exhibition entitled: ‘The Secret Revealed. The Books Arts Workshop at 25 Years’. This exhibition showcased a selection of print and book arts materials produced by students and staff at Dartmouth over the years. To celebrate the University of Otago’s association with Dartmouth College through the Matariki Network*, this exhibition highlights a small selection of materials borrowed from Dartmouth’s Books Arts Workshop and Rauner Special Collections Library. Please enjoy.

‘Graphic Art…takes in the considerable sweep of human activity devoted to the making and manifolding of visual symbols based on drawing and writing.’ So wrote Ray Nash in 1940. This piece was reprinted by Roderick Stinehour in <em>RN. A Fresh Approach, a festschrift</em> celebrating Nash’s 50th birthday on 25th February 1955. Grinnell also contributed, proving that Nash was right about his potential. The reverse image on the left is by the New York-based Stanley Rice, another of Nash’s students, who was a pioneer in computer typeset design.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Edward Connery Lathem, Librarian of Dartmouth College from 1968-1978, and Roderick ‘Rocky’ Stinehour, printer and owner of Meriden Stinehour Press led – along with Mark Lansburgh – the revival of the Graphic Arts Workshop at Dartmouth. While Lathem stayed at Dartmouth, Stinehour moved to Lunenburg where he began his Stinehour Press. The press’ international reputation meant that its publications are found in museums and libraries around the world. In 1981, Dartmouth bestowed an honorary degree of Doctor of Literature to Stinehour. He died in July 2016, aged 91. Here both men peruse <em>Your Son, Calvin Coolidge</em>, a work edited by Lathem and chosen as one of the Fifty Best Books of the Year (1968-1969) by the American Institute of Graphic Arts.

Ray Nash found the manuscript of this narrative at an antique dealer’s barn in Vermont in 1938. Edward Lathem printed a portion of <em>The Great Snow of Grandmother’s Story</em>, presumably set – as printed – in 1816, ‘the legendary years “eighteen hundred and froze to death.”’ It is a very creditable piece of printing.

The third musketeer in the Book Arts revival was Mark Lansburgh, who after Dartmouth spent his career as an art historian, teaching and lecturing at colleges and universities such as Colorado College, Stanford and New York University. Aside from his printing skills, Lansburgh was also a collector, amassing a fine collection of ledger drawings that chronicle the life of the Native American. These items were gifted to Dartmouth. Here Lansburgh peruses a sheet, no doubt printed on one of the presses at Dartmouth.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
A colophon (from the Greek meaning ‘summit’ or ‘finishing touch’) is often employed in many private press books to give a brief statement on the publication of a book such as the place of publication, the publisher, the date of publication, and often issue numbers. Printed using Lydian italics, Mark Lansburgh’s colophon gives such details, including the consumption of a Thanksgiving dinner. The book of poetry once belonged to Lloyd K. Neidlinger (1902-1978), a Dartmouth College football player who was Class of 1923, and later Dean of the College, 1934-1952.

A summary of the resource.
David Godine was a Dartmouth student in the 1960s. One small piece that he completed while on campus was this Edgar Allan Poe poem: <em>The Lake: To -</em> , part of a collaborative print exercise with other students. Since graduation, Godine continued in the ‘book’ world. He worked for Leonard Baskin, the renowned typographer and printmaker, and Harold McGrath, his master printer. Godine now runs a small publishing company in Boston, producing well-crafted books, especially in the fields of photography, graphic arts, and contemporary world literature in translation.
