Stephen Harvard was a book designer, illustrator, calligrapher, letter-cutter, and at one time, Vice-President of The Stinehour Press (founded by Dartmouth alum, Roderick Stinehour). He was schooled by Ray Nash. Harvard also designed digital types for Adobe. His interest in print and press history, the alphabet and lettering, and the notion that printers like to expound their art to children led to this delightful new version of the old classic Jack and the Bean-Stalk. Harvard used the edition printed by Boston type-founder T.H. Carter in 1837 as his exemplar. This item is usually housed at the Baker Library, Dartmouth.
