W.R. Stephenson Collection of Manuscript Reproductions
Description
This collection consists of reproductions of 15th century to 18th century manuscripts. Researchers will find copies from the French Book of Hours, leaflets, missals, and pages from various texts including Euclid's Elements and the Gutenberg 42-line Bible. This material was collected by W.R. Stephenson who was a Principal at Casper Junior High School from 1925 to 1951. Stephenson may have been interested in teaching lettering to students of the Junior High. It is the repository's aim that students at Casper College and beyond can use these collected reproductions to learn lettering and practice graphic design.
