Daniel Berkeley Updike
Daniel Berkeley Updike (February 14, 1860 — December 29, 1941) was an American printer and historian of typography. In 1880 he joined the publishers Houghton, Mifflin & Company, of Boston as an errand boy. He worked for the firm's Riverside Press and trained as a printer but soon moved to typographic design. In 1896 he founded the Merrymount Press.
==Beginnings==
Daniel Berkeley Updike was born in Providence, Rhode Island, on February 24, 1860; he left school when his father died on October 9, 1877. Updike first assisted at a local library after the librarian had taken ill. In the spring of 1880 he relocated to Boston and began work in the publishing office of Houghton, Mifflin and Company, at the lowest level.
Daniel Berkeley Updike's parents were both English. His mother, who held more traditional views of life, strongly influenced the young Updike. His father's family had left and returned to New England, not liking it the second time and more than the first. Unfortunately, the fact that both his mother and father came from England, was the only thing that these two had in common.
Updike's work as an errand boy for Houghton, Mifflin and Company introduced him to the publishing trade, and he rapidly took an interest in the process of book-making. Mature for his age, the young man was socially accepted at the firm. Updike was responsible daily for carrying proofs from the printer's offices on Park Street on Boston's Beacon Hill to the Riverside Press overlooking the Charles River in Cambridge. Traveling by horse-car, Updike made the most of the time: he studied the proofs he was delivering and imagined the changes that he himself would make. At the Press, he would wait for the corrected prints and quickly developed an interest in print-making.
