Life at Jarrolds

CONGRATULATIONS 1962/63

SINCE THE CHRISTMAS ISSUE of this magazine further messages of goodwill have come our way, notably from:

Hamish Hamilton who write that they are ‘delighted with the appearance of Ruins in the Jungle’.

Methuen tell us that ‘Mr Herrmann has asked them to write and say that he considers . . . machining and binding of Paperback [Twentieth Century Literature] very good indeed’.

The Egg Marketing Board reported that ‘The Egg Pirates have arrived on time and think that this is a very remarkable feat’. They are ‘delighted with the book and very grateful for the efforts made to produce it so excellently and in such a short space of time’.

And now a foretaste of 1963:

Griffin and George thank us ‘for the efforts made in providing . . . the copies of the Griffin Supplement required for the SMA Exhibition and [they] think this is a very nice publication and are sure our customers will agree’.

Margate Publishing Department say they ‘would like to thank us and all those connected with the production of the Margate Guide, and particularly Mr Cook for his help, guidance and interpretation of their instructions in the most attractive and colourful editorial sections’.

JARROLDS DO IT AGAIN!

MR JOHN JARROLD (RIGHT) RECEIVING THE AWARD

For the second year running Jarrolds have won the Photo Litho and Offset Award in a competition organized by The Litho Printer magazine.

The photograph shows Mr John receiving the plaque, which symbolizes the award, from Mr F E Newman of W S Crawford Ltd, who was one of the judges.

The winning entry consisted of the colour plates in the National Rose Society’s Rose Annual for 1962. These plates, which were said to mirror the bright colours of the flowers being illustrated, were processed from Ektachromes and printed in four colours on Quad Demy 2-colour Rolands using Wiggins Teape Proven Litho Art paper, size 331/2 x 441/2, 125 lb. The run was 86,000.

This extract, from the Jarrold Magazine, Volume XVI, Number 1, 1963, shows the excellent quality of work produced by Jarrold Printing of Norwich in its heyday.
