Fredericks, Claude

The Banyan Press was a small press founded in 1946 by Claude Fredericks and Milton Saul. In 1948 they moved their operation, a single 10"x14" Golding press, to Pawlet, Vermont. Most design work was done by Fredericks (3 or 4 items were designed by Saul and 1 by Harry Prickett); after the first few books, Saul did most of the typesetting and Fredericks handled the paperwork. All type was set by hand except for one item, the introduction to The Poetry Center presents (1947), which was printed by linotype. After 1950 Fredericks ran the press alone under his own name, except for 1975-1978, when he was assisted by David Beeken.
