Excerpt from Recollections of the Grabhorn Press, And, Comments on Some Bay Area Fine Printers
Edwin Grabhorn, whose Grabhorn Press was for many years one of the most renowned printing enterprises of the Western world, began his career as a music printer in an uncle's shop in Indianapolis. As he recounts in this interview, his first experience on the Pacific Coast was in Seattle, where as a young man he worked as a music printer, then turned to general printing and went into business for himself briefly. There he first became acquainted with the work of Frederic W. Goudy, which was to become a major influence.
