- Cobden-Sanderson, Thomas James
-
▪ British book designer
born Dec. 2, 1840, Alnwick, Northumberland, Eng.
died Sept. 7, 1922, London
Though initially a barrister,
he turned in 1883 to bookbinding,
a field in which he rapidly won distinction.
He established the Doves Bindery at Hammersmith,
London (
1893),
confining himself thereafter to designing;
and in 1900 he founded,
with Emery Walker (
Walker, Sir Emery),
the Doves Press.
The restrained splendour of its books is unsurpassed.
The Doves Bible (
1903–
05)
is considered the masterpiece of the press.
He and Walker designed an outstanding type,
which was based on the roman type of the 15th-
century printer Nicolas Jenson.
The partnership ended in 1909;
and after the press closed in 1916,
Cobden-
Sanderson,
to make certain that no one could use his special type,
threw it into the Thames.
