Today's class started out the same. We went over questions that were posted on our blogs and Laura was nice enough, like always, to answer them for us. It is kind of nice to hear what other people have questions about. Then we started to go over chapter 8, Monday nights homework. In chapter 8 we learned a lot because i had 2 and a half pages full of notes. We learned anything from Romain du Roi and Rococo type to three different people; Caslon, Baskerville, and Didot&Bodoni. Going over the chapters in class help me understand what I didn't understand when I was reading through the chapters.
What was really interesting about this chapter was the Romain du Roi type. It just blew me away about the 2,304 square grid. Did they make the grid by hand every single time?
My one question from this class is if there was no printing in the United States, was the Declaration of Independence printed over in England or somewhere else?
