Alphabet & Image was a short-lived but influential quarterly magazine published in London by James Shand at the Shenval Press, running from 1946 to 1948 across eight issues. Edited by Robert Harling, a noted typographer also involved with Time & Tide, it focused on typography and graphic arts, aiming to elevate design standards in post-war Britain. The magazine featured articles on historical and contemporary typography, book illustration, and graphic design, often with a critical edge, calling out the printing industry's resistance to innovative design practices.
