VILLET-COLLIGNON Autographed letter signed DERRIEY order character printing

  
Joseph VILLET-COLLIGNON, printer, director of the Journal Le Gutenberg (newspaper for printers, booksellers, type founders, manufacturers of presses, paper, ink). Tear at the vertical fold (5 cm), browning. He places an order for several zinc rules in body size 9, which he details, and concludes his letter by writing, “The printing industry is doing so poorly that I have not yet been able to use your assortment of rules.” The Villet family were booksellers? The Collignon family a dynasty of printers.
