Stanley Morison (6 May 1889 – 11 October 1967) was a British typographer, designer and historian of printing. He was one of the most influential type-designers of the 20th century, having commissioned the Times New Roman typeface (1931) and several historical revivals for the Monotype Corporation. ==Early life and career== Stanley Morison was born in Britain on 6 May 1889, at Wanstead, Essex, but spent most of his childhood and early adult years (1896–1912) in London at the family home in Fairfax Road, Harringay.〔Stanley Morison, Nicolas Barker, Macmillan, 1972〕 He was self-taught, having left school after his father abandoned his family. In 1913 Morison became an editorial assistant on ''The Imprint'' magazine. During the First World War he was a conscientious objector, and was interned. In 1918 he became design supervisor at the Pelican Press. This was followed by a similar position at the ''Cloister Press''. In 1922 he was a founder-member of the ''Fleuron Society'', dedicated to typographic matters (a fleuron being a typographic flower or ornament). He edited the society's journal, ''The Fleuron'', from 1925 to 1930. The quality of the publication's artwork and printing was considered exceptional. From 1923 to 1925 he was also a staff editor/writer for the ''Penrose Annual,'' a graphic arts journal.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stanley Morison」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
