Allusive Typography: The Grabhorn Press

The prestigious and well-known Grabhorn Press was founded in 1919 when two young men, Edwin and Robert Grabhorn, moved to San Francisco to start a small printing concern. Here they connected with the San Franciscan local community of bibliophiles and artists, becoming well liked and well-connected with the other movers and shakers of the American design world: the Nash brothers. What few people knew about the Grabhorn brothers was that they were also the students of arguably America's finest book designer, Bruce Rogers.

Over the following years, their unique eye for book design as well as their community spirit in pairing up contemporary illustrators with woodcut sculptors, book designers and type-makers served them well, they are currently regarded as one of the finest of the private presses produced by America, and an equal in excellence and style to any of the fine art English private presses. Over their years they succeeded in printing a large amount of materials, with volumes commissioned by no less than British and American politicians and museums.

In later years the Grabhorn Press dwindled, as the Grabhorn Brothers reached their later years. Instead of giving up the gauntlet, the Grabhorn Press naturally shifted its focus to become the Grabhorn Institute, the parent-protector of the Arion private press, as well as one of America's chief educators in the typographic arts.

A Grabhorn title will always be collectible, but their output was so vast that it is perhaps best to narrow your collections to particular subjects, personages or themes, such as Winston Churchill, rare church volumes, or pre-war poets. If your copy also has the distinctive bookplates of ownership, or any personal providence such as letters, dedications or signatures, than its auction value will easily run into the hundreds of dollars, with good-quality, similarly provided volumes from the early to pre 1930's sometimes reaching into the thousands.
