Last October Ben from British Letterpress sent me a whole pile of stuff. Lots of letterpressed bits and pieces. It was really nice of him; really interesting things, including that British Rail booklet I blogged. It was lovely. So lovely, since then I've sought out other examples from the same era. Here's another I've dug up.
There's lots to like: Clarendon, specifically those lowercase headings; the cover grid (bloody hell, I've used that technique just a few weeks ago for one of our clients). And the great photography, with a number of stand-out images; dare I suggest, some Rodchenko-esque? While others being just superb snap-shots of life back then, like that one of the station restaurant (and that sad, Brief Encounter, couple at the table).
