Exhibition

Wednesday 4 to Thursday 19 October

The exhibition marked the centenary of the first publication of Edward Johnston’s influential Writing and Illuminating, and Lettering in 1906 - it has been in continuous print ever since. Johnston’s teaching and philosophy was shown through contemporary work in many mediums including formal penmanship, carved and engraved lettering and modern typeface design. Calligraphy is thereby seen as the root of our various lettering systems.

The exhibition was jointly curated by the Edward Johnston Foundation and the Society of Scribes and Illuminators.
