William Joseph “Dard” Hunter was born in Steubenville, Ohio in 1883. From an early age, Hunter was immersed with the techniques of printing at his father’s newspaper and often set lines of type by hand as a young adult.
Hunter’s designs for books, leather, glass and metal helped unify the Roycroft product line and distinguish it from that of other American Arts & Crafts enterprises. In the 1920’s he established the Mountain House Press which has been recognized by collectors and scholars as one of the most unique printing establishments of the 20th century.
Today the press continues to offer Dard Hunter and Roycroft inspired home furnishings and decorative items plus letterpress prints, cards and stationery.
