History of Science and Engineering Annotation << Back The Wordsmithing of Georges Revillon Kuzmina N.G. Georges Revillon was the founder of the largest Russian printing house in St. Petersburg. Initially, he worked for Alexander Plushar. In 1830, he established his own printing house, Revillon and Co., which was the first independent printing house in Russia. Revillon introduced the Dido typometric system in Russia and supplied fonts and typesets to most Russian printing houses. Thanks to Revillon's typesets and letterpresses, books with thematic illustrations began to be produced. Revillon's word-casting had a significant impact on the development of printing in Russia in the late 19th century. Keywords: word-casting, Revillon, font samples.
