A few more scores in now. The patterns are beautiful but every time I pick one of these up I marvel at the exquisite typography. Can't remember if it was Tschichold who was responsible for these – or maybe it was Hans Schmoller – but when I see them I see that photo of Jan in my head. This one.
My goodness. That was a score and a half!!!
Beautifully decorative patterns surrounding the stunning typography. I agree completely with you on that image of Hans Schmoller.
From one collector of beautiful designed stuff to the other. Your blog is fantastic Richard!

The cover of the Scores series was indeed designed by Tschichold, though the books were published after Schmoller had succeeded him. About half of the paper designs were Elizabeth Friedlander's; and many of the patterns as well as the layout were of course used for the Poets as well. Thanks for lovely photos, and best wishes, James Mackay
