The Rampant Lions Press: A letterpress odyssey
Tue 18 March 2014 - Sun 18 May 2014
Fitzwilliam Museum
Inspired by the venerable tradition of private presses in England, the Rampant Lions Press was a small publisher of fine editions and a designer-printer for other publishers. They printed all books by letterpress, mostly on hand or mould-made papers and specialised in elegant, but colourful typography that made inventive use of a small repertoire of exceptional metal typefaces, including several designed by Hermann Zapf and the Golden Cockerel Roman designed by Eric Gill. The work of the Rampant Lions Press was the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1982. This exhibition displays a selection of their books produced since then.
