(Text) 'The proprietors of The Times may have been unprepared for what they got but Morison was by no means unprepared for the task. For years, as if in anticipation of this momentous undertaking, he had been collecting English Newspapers published over the past three hundred years, studying their types, layout, editorship and paying special attention to The Times in the process. (...) He had established himself as a formidable authority.

In the (fifty) years since it was made available to all who wished to use it, Times Roman ha s become one of the most successful type faces of the twentieth century, in daily use all over the world, in eve ry kind of printing and in many languages.' Herbert Jones

PLEASE NOTE: All the items we sell are out-of-print and original, and show signs of wear consistent with age. Posters in particular are delicate items that can easily suffer the effects of time and handling, so it is unusual to find vintage posters that are in pristine condition. The grading of posters has been kept as simple as possible. The condition of posters is ranked A to C, which include further sub-classifications of plus (+) and minus (-) in each case (e.g. A-, A, A+). Items are supplemented with a high-resolution image, and any specific/significant flaws highlighted. If in doubt, please contact me for further information.

Grade A: items are in excellent condition for their age. They are clean and display bright colour(s), show no sign of loss, and minimal creasing or other imperfections. Grade B: items are in good condition for their age. They are generally clean, yet may present minimal tears or loss, creasing folds and pin holes. Grade C: items are in poor condition for their age. They may suffer from soiling, fading or discolouration, in addition to more significant tears, loss, creasing.
