Edward Prince
Edward Philip Prince (1846–1923) was a British engraver and punchcutter, a cutter of the punches used to stamp the matrices used to cast metal type.[1][2][3][4][5]
Working during the period of the Arts and Crafts movement, after William Morris's Kelmscott Press commissioned him to cut a typeface known as the Golden Type to Morris's design he became known for cutting private typefaces for fine book printing presses.[6] Another client was the Doves Press, whose Doves Type he cut; it was famously thrown into the Thames following a business disagreement.[7][8] He also worked with the Ashendene Press to cut the Subiaco and Ptolemy types.[9] A somewhat retiring figure, only two photographs of him are known to exist.[10]
