Bookplate of previous owner W. Van R. Whitall on pastedowns of three volumes.

Rogers was known for his "allusive" typography, rejecting modernism, seldom using asymmetrical arrangements, rarely using sans serif typefaces, often favoring faces such as Bell (at the time known only as Brimmer), Caslon, his own Montaigne, a Jensonian precursor to his masterpiece of type design Centaur. Provenance: The Major W. Van R. Whitall collection was sold in Chicago in 1927.
