About the Item
Born in Bohemia in what is now the Czech Republic, Rudolph Ruzicka emigrated to the United States when he was ten years old. His family settled in Chicago, where Ruzicka worked as a wood engraver and took classes at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1903, he moved to New York to work as a wood engraver for a bank note company, remaining there until the 1940s, when he left for Massachusetts and, eventually, Vermont.
Ruzicka was an important printmaker, typeface designer, graphic artist, and book designer. Ruzicka designed typefaces and illustrations for the Merrymount Press, and for fifty years, produced typeface designs for Mergenthaler Linotype Company, including the typeface families of Fairfield, Lake Informal, Primer, and Ruzicka Freehand. In 1935, he won a gold medal from the American Institute of Graphic Arts.

- Fishing Camp on the Labrador CoastBy William BradfordLocated in New York, NYIn 1852, twenty-nine year old William Bradford was a failing shopkeeper in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. With a wife and child at home, Bradford, by his own admission, “spent too much time in painting to succeed” in business. Rescued from insolvency by his well-to-do in-laws, this is not the beginning of a narrative that generally leads to a happy ending. Not so with Bradford, who ultimately found international fame and fortune as a painter of arctic seascapes and dramatic marine paintings. William Bradford, the artist, was a lineal descendant of the 17th-century Separatist leader William Bradford, a founder of the Plymouth Plantation, signer of the Mayflower Compact and Governor of the Plymouth Colony. Our Bradford born to a New Bedford ship outfitter in Fairhaven, Massachusetts By the nineteenth century, this line of Bradfords were Quakers, living on the tract purchased nearly two centuries earlier by their pilgrim ancestor. Fairhaven, across the mouth of the Acushnet River from the whaling center of New Bedford was described by a New York journalist in 1857 as “the Brooklyn of New Bedford” (Home Journal, January 3, 1857). Young Bradford displayed an early predilection for the arts, but his Quaker parents were disinclined to support this particular pursuit. After working in his father’s business and then for a dry goods merchant in New Bedford, by 1849 Bradford had set up in New Bedford as a “merchant tailor” offering outfits for “those going to California,” “seamen’s clothing,” custom-tailored “piece goods...Category
