Taller Martín Pescador.
Variant namesBiographical notes:
Juan Pascoe, handpress printer, was born in Chicago in 1946. His father was a Mexican diplomat with the United Nations, and his mother an American. After studying English at Whitman College (BA 1969), Pascoe spent a year as a printing apprentice to Harry Duncan at the Cummington Press in West Branch Iowa (1971-1972). He moved to Mexico in 1973 and first began printing under Imprenta Rasucache, or "Shabby Press," (1973-1975), before founding the Taller Martiʹn Pescador (Kingfisher Workshop) in 1975. In 1987, he produced the first book reflecting his historical interest in Mexican book arts (no. 112 on checklist). Pascoe has since become known for major studies of 16th and 17th century Mexican printers. He is presently located in Tacʹambaro, near Mexico City.
