McCutcheon and went from there.to gain fame in the ‘book-designing art. He was selected to design the famous new edition of the Bible ordered by the King of England. It is in two volumes and sells for $150 per set. The two volumes are part of the exhibit. The exhibit is timely because 1940 is the 500th anniversary of the invention of movable type by Johannes Gutenberg. (Aside to the captious: The American Institute of. the Graphic Arts has accepted 1440 as the date of the invention of movable type until some one can prove it was some other year. There are two known early corroborations for» this:) Libraries all over the country will | have special exhibits for the Gutenberg celebration and Luther Dickerson, head of the Indianapolis public library, is arranging a show. The Herron Museum exhibit consists- of scores of books and the working proofs of the. Bible-edition. Mr. Rogers now lives in the East. The- collection shown here was assembled and shown first in New York. It was brought here through the efforts of Wilbur Peat, Herron (Museum director.
