Description
In recent reflections on printed books and their history, the so-called geometry of the page has come in for considerable discussion. This exhibit takes a slightly different approach to matters geometrical — showcasing rare books on geometry, to be sure, but also other instances of geometrical shapes (in particular, triangles, squares, and circles) as rendered in type, ornament, illustrations, and metaphors.
