Bruce Rogers
The thistle in banner eight is the personal device of Bruce Rogers (1870-1957), distinguished American printer and typographer who is widely recognized as one of the most talented book designers of all time. He was associated primarily with the Riverside Press, a private press founded in 1888 by Henry Houghton in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as a subsidiary of Houghton Mifflin of Boston. In 1896, Rogers was appointed director of the press which, until it closed in 1911, issued limited editions of some sixty books.
