1930s Chinatown printers type specimen catalogue

Item Details

Description

Heading: (Chinese American)
Author:
Title: 1930s San Francisco Chinatown printers type specimen catalog
Place Published: San Francisco
Publisher:Bock Ngar Chy Co., Printers
Date Published: ca. 1934
Description:

44 pages. Profusely illustrated. (Oblong 8vo) 8x5", original decorative wrappers, text in Chinese with some English.

This catalogue, which is in remarkably good condition, displays the products and services of the most prominent printing company in San Francisco Chinatown, with a wide variety of typefaces and graphics for advertisements, calling cards, and other printing jobs as well as rubberstamps and corporate stamping machines.

The Chinese-owned businesses named in the illustrations were located not only in San Francisco, but also Sacramento, Reno, Denver, Minneapolis, Canada and Mexico.

The company was founded by a Chinese-American born in San Francisco and educated in both Chinese and American schools who worked in his father's import-export business before starting his own firm of printers and stationers after the San Francisco earthquake and fire.

The estimated date is taken from the image of one corporate seal.

Condition

Very good or better.
