Print by The Cloister Press 1936 : pamphlet : Cloister Press : Heaton Mersey, Manchester : 1936 : card

            A charming pamphlet published by the renowned Cloister Press describing their history, services and developments introduced in 1936 when the premises were expanded. As noted the Press was founded by C. W. Hobson in 1921, part of the contemporary British movement to raise the standards of printing and publishing, and was noteworthy in that Stanley Morison was employed as the design supervisor. The Press was based in Heaton Mersey, Stockport, in the southern suburbs of Manchester. It undertook commercial and advertising as well as fine printing.

The pamphlet uses some neat imagery of the printing plate, on the title page opposite the actual printed page, and includes a compliments card using the device that was at the time in use.
