The Riverman

Writer Greg Nay and artist Lisa Kane‘s collaboration The Riverman was a project with instant appeal to us, being a dark and mysterious fictional work based around the River Thames. The setting of Victorian London lent itself well to using New North Press’ decorative typefaces which we employed to pick out evocative phrases and help give the text an expressive flow to complement Lisa’s etchings.

Each text page was hand-set in metal type from our collection and printed on damped Somerset Velvet paper. The complete set of etching and text pages are housed in a cloth-bound ribbon-tie portfolio, also made by New North Press.
