This is a typeface by Rudolf Koch — looks like a bold weight of Koch Antiqua.

I think this is the digitisation by Bitstream — Kuenstler 165 Bold.

w0w awesome.
although I think the middle stroke of the S curved up more, I’ll look at the variations.
thanks!

Was this Facsimile Edition published in 1977, or is it a recently published facsimile of the MCMLXXVII edition?

And what’s the New York Graphic Society doing in Boston anyway? ;-)

I believe this edition was published in 77 as a facsimilie of the original 1930’s print. I saw an original edition at the recent ansel adams exhibit at the MFA here in Boston and fell in love with the font (espcially in lowercase bodies of text)
It was a pain to find an image of it online.
