It is the simplest of all graphic methods of reproduction and at the same time the most lasting. It was the method employed by the medieval craftsmen who first ap plied type to paper and it has persisted throughout the centuries over all innova tions, until today, when the best of crafts manship is sought in a job, there is no al ternative to letter press printing, along with high grade paper and typographic good taste.
