Buy this book on-line Rogers, Bruce : CHAMP ROSÉ: Wherein may be discovered the Roman letters that were made by Geofroy Tory and printed by him at Paris in his book called "Champ Fleury."Peter Pauper Press, New Rochelle, 1933
8vo. (7 5/8 x 5 3/4 inches) publisher's marbled paper over boards; paper spine label. We liberally quote Jos. Blumenthal's Bruce Rogers: A Life in Letters 1870-1957: "The book, which consisted of the introduction and twenty-four large diagrammatic roman letters, each on a separate page, was very well printed by Bor.’s young friend Peter Beilenson at his Walpole Printing Office...the Bruce Rogers printer's mark of Father Time and the thistle appeared on the colophon page, indicating that he closely supervised the making of this slender book, which was done with forthright simplicity and charm."In addition to being a poor man's Champ Fleury (or at least the Grolier Club version, designed by Rogers, and now a highly collectable—and expensive—example of his work), this delightful book, printed in the very depth of the depression, is filled with good humor, including Rogers' "graphic pun" perpetrated on the colophon page in which, he recreates Geofroy Tory's cube, on which there are superimposed roman capitals; on B.R.’s cube he chose the then appropriate letters IOU.
