Will Ransom Will Ransom (1878 – 24 May 1955) was an American graphic designer, letterer, typeface designer, and the foremost bibliographer of private presses. ==Youth and early career==
Born in St. Louis, Michigan, Ransom grew up in Snohomish, Washington and began his career as a reporter, book-keeper, and printer’s devil for several papers in the Northwest. 〔Wells, James M., ''Will Ransom'' in ''Heritage of the Graphic Arts'' edited by Chandler B. Grannis, R.R. Bowker Company, New York & London, 1972, pp. 103-115. 〕 Long interested in design, and having printed several art books on his own, Ransom was persuaded in 1903 to study at Frank Holmes’ School of Illustration. There he soon fell in with a group of young designers including Oswald Cooper, W.A. Dwiggins, and Frederic Goudy. Later that year, Ransom and Goudy founded the Village Press in Park Ridge, Illinois.〔Bruckner, D.J.R., "Frederic Goudy," Documents of American Design series, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers, New York City, 1990, ISBN 0-8109-1035-7, p. 51.〕 After an unprofitable year of operation, Ransom turned the Village Press over to Goudy’s sole proprietorship and, for the next nine years, took work as a book-keeper. In 1911 he married Helen Ruhman, a piano teacher, who gave him one child, a daughter, Frances Rose.〔Wells, James M., ''Will Ransom''〕
