by E. R. Weiss : The Fleuron No. V : editor Stanley Morison : The Fleuron : London : printed & published by the Cambridge University Press : 1926 : cover

            The fifth issue of the shortlived but influential journal of typography "The Fleuron", edited by Stanley Morison, was printed and published in 1926 by the Cambridge University Press. The issue contains an article on the German typographer and printer Karl Klingspor, by Julius Rodenberg and translated by Ann Simons who had been a student of Edward Johnston in London, and contains an advert for the Insel-Verlag's publication celebrating the fiftieth birthday of E. R. Weiss, "Germany's most famous artist-typographer" that was issued in 1925.

Emil Rudolf Weiß (1875 - 1942) was indeed a noted and influential German artist, designer and typographer and Morison appears to have been instrumental in commissioning him to design the bindings and endpapers for this issue of The Fleuron. Interestingly, 1926 saw Cambridge University Press produce a small catalogue of Weiss's designs for typographical borders and ornaments.
