Blades, William

    0.03 sec.

Blades, William (1824–1890)

British printer and bibliographer. His interest in the history of printing led to the publication of his Biography and Typography of William Caxton, England's First Printer (1877), in which, by a careful comparison of types, he classified many Caxton editions.

At his death his library of some 3,000 items was purchased by the governors of St Bride Foundation, forming the nucleus of the typographical library at St Bride Institute, London.
