Helmut Salden Uncovered 1:1 is the first international monograph on Helmut Salden (1910–96), exploring his original sketches and working drawings. The material spans the years 1939 through 1970. In those years, Salden was the most celebrated Dutch lettering artist. All drawings are reproduced at actual size and reveal in detail his pursuit of the ultimate form.
Beautiful examples of illustrations, fonts and other parts of graphic design, Some full-sized replication of pages, beginning at 1471 through 2010, celebrating the engravers and typeset printers.
