This book is a visual reference to a short essay

by Beatrice Warde, “The Crystal Goblet”.

 

The Essay was written in 1953 where digital printing was still not available, therefore,every printed publication was hand-set using letterpress. Knowing the limitation in technology in the 1950’s, Beatrice Warde, a type critique,set out a concept of theories, referring to good book typography which were meant metaphorically as three different types of glasses. These consist of : Stained Glass, Transparent Glass and Broken Glass.
