World Book Day: Edward Clark Collection<\/h1>\n

As it is World Book Day, we thought we could take the opportunity to write about our beloved Edward Clark Collection. What is the Edward Clark Collection you may ask or why is it relevant to World Book Day? Well, let\u2019s begin:<\/p>\n

Edward Clark Collection<\/h2>\n

The Edward Clark Collection is based at Merchiston Campus. It is part of our Hertiage Collections\/Archives. We have been custodians of the collection since 1964.\u00a0 It is one of the only two surviving examples of what was once a widespread phenomenon in Britain: printers\u2019 libraries. The other survivor is St Brides Library in London.<\/p>\n

Edward Clark Collection consists of around 5000 items.<\/p>\n

The collection concentrates on the development of typography, the techniques of printing illustrations, and fine bindings.\u00a0 It includes several rare imprints and some splendid examples of typographers, printers, illustrators and binders art and craft.<\/p>\n

It has a wide range of books throughout the years, showcasing the changes in illustrations, typography, publishing and more. We think it would be a great opportunity to highlight this collection on World Book Day.<\/p>\n

Edward Clark<\/h3>\n

Edward Clark was born in Edinburgh, to Robert and Emma Clark on 11 December 1864. His paternal grandmother Isabel was sister to Adam Black, Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh from 1843 to 1848, and a Member of Parliament from 1854 to 1865. Edward Clark \u00a0began business as a publisher in Edinburgh in 1815. And with his nephew founded the firm of A. & C. Black. Known to publish the Edinburgh Review for many years and acquired the copyright of Encyclopaedia Britannica.<\/p>\n

Over the years, books that had publishing significance were bought in the name of Edward Clark, showing the development of publishing over the years.<\/p>\n

Edward Clark Collection: Printers\u2019 Libraries<\/h3>\n

The first Edinburgh printers\u2019 library was established in 1858. The technical and reference collections continued to be used up until the end of the 19th<\/sup> century, after which it is not clear what happened to them. Formal educational requirements for printing apprentices were established after World War I. The Clark Collection was put together as a teaching resource, mainly in the 1930s, to illustrate printing technologies, type design and book production from the 15th<\/sup>\u00a0century to the present day. As well as the treasures highlighted on the Collection\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0it is a treasure trove for the historian of print.<\/p>\n
