dbo:abstract
  • The Fleuron est le titre de la revue de la société The Fleuron, fondée à Londres par les typographes Stanley Morison, Francis Meynel, Holbrook Jackson, Bernard Newdigate et Oliver Simon, et publiée de 1927 à 1930. En 1922, Stanley Morison, conseiller artistique de la Monotype Corporation, fonde avec ses amis une société consacrée à l'art typographique. Le mot fleuron, en anglais comme en français, désigne un ornement floral typographique. L'année suivante, la société publie son journal, un volume contenant une grande variété de papiers, d'illustrations, de spécimens, de fac-similés, avec des essais par des auteurs spécialisés dans les domaines de la typographie et du livre. The Fleuron, dans ses sept livraisons, représente l'essentiel de la typographie de son époque, et son implication dans l'histoire. The Fleuron s'inscrit dans la tradition des journaux britanniques de typographie, qui, dans des formats et des titres différents, célèbrent cet art, comme The Monotype Recorder, Alphabet and Image (1946-1952), Typographica (1949-1967), Motif (1958-1967), Baseline (depuis 1979), The Matrix (depuis 1981), Eye (depuis 1990)...
