The Doves Press

The Doves Press was a British publishing company active in the early 20th century, renowned for producing high-quality, beautifully designed books. Based in London, it was founded in 1900 and named after the dove symbol in its logo. The press focused on using fine materials, elegant typefaces (notably its own creation called Doves Type), and meticulous craftsmanship, reflecting a commitment to both literary and aesthetic excellence. Its work is highly regarded in the fields of typography, book design, and printing history, and many of its editions are considered masterpieces of the Arts and Crafts movement.
