Press of the Woolly Whale

The Press of the Woolly Whale was founded by Melbert B. Cary Jr. (1892-1941), a New York businessman and prominent figure in the fields of typography and private printing during the second quarter of the twentieth century. Cary was director of Continental Type Founders Association, a former president of the American Institute of Graphic Arts, and proprietor of the private Press of the Woolly Whale. His professional and personal interests in printing led him to collect printer's manuals and type specimens, as well as exemplars of the printer's art; his collection was presented to Rochester Institute of Technology in 1969.
