STANLEY MORISON began his essay “THE ROMAN ITALIC & BLACK letter left to Oxford by Dr. John FELL” (Oxford University Press Oxford in 1951) by discussing FELL typefaces: “Oxford Printing house has the oldest punches and matrixes in England that are both appreciated and utilized; their types are used to compose books as well as printed materials.”
John Fell, D.D. died July 10, 1686 aged 61 and left this heirloom from his deed to Christ Church as bishop and Dean. Since 1668 he spent his time establishing an educational press in Oxford which became endowed with valuable equipment that set new standards in printing technology.
