Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of the History of the Art of Printing 1450-1920: During Months of September October in the Year Nineteen Hundred and Twenty
Of the fifteenth century books (incunabula) an effort has been made to get together all that could be found in the city, all of which are here catalogued (forty-one titles, forty-one volumes), though some are shelved for lack of room in the cases. Doubtless other incunabula are to be found in Rochester private libraries; and the director of the Gallery will be glad to receive information regarding any such book printed before 1500.
The exhibition has been collected and arranged by Mr. Elmer Adler, with the assistance of librarians and of many others. The catalogue is by John Rothwell Slater, professor of English in the University of Rochester. By the cordial cooperation of the Rochester Typothetae and the generosity of Mr. Joseph T. Alling the printing of this catalogue to be sold at a nominal price has been made possible. The committee has received many suggestions from the admirable catalogue prepared by Mr. Henry Lewis Bullen and issued by the Carteret Book Club, of Newark, New Jersey, for a typographical exhibition held at the Newark Public Library in April, 1920.
Special acknowledgments are due to those who have lent their books for the exhibition. When not otherwise stated the books are the property of the University. Numbers marked EA are from the collection of Mr. Elmer Adler; RTS, from the Rochester Theological Seminary. Other names appear in full.
