Iona is an island in the Inner Hebrides, off the Ross of Mull on the western coast of Scotland. It is mainly known for Iona Abbey, though there are other buildings on the island. Iona Abbey was a centre of Gaelic monasticism for three centuries and is today known for its relative tranquility and natural environment. It is a tourist destination and a place for spiritual retreats. Its modern Scottish Gaelic name means "Iona of (Saint) Columba". The press founded at Stanbrook Abbey near Worcester in 1876 was unique: run by a religious community, rather than an individual or partnership, it stood at the interface between book design and religious belief. Famously the press was associated in the early 20th century with one of the great figures of English bibliography, Sir Sydney Cockerell (1867-1962); he in turn introduced the nuns to Emery Walker (1851-1933) and C. H. St John Hornby (1867-1946). The press enjoyed a golden age under the direction of Dame Hildelith Cumming (1909-1991), who was printer from 1955 until her death in 1991. With the encouragement of Dutch typographer Jan van Krimpen (1892-1958) and the English designer John Dreyfus (1918-2002), Dame Hildelith developed a distinctive Stanbrook style: the use of characterful typefaces, expertly printed on fine hand-made papers; the deployment of white space to allow texts to breathe ; and a liveliness achieved through coloured inks, calligraphic decoration and fine bindings. David Butcher, the press s bibliographer, summed up its achievement: Collectively the books published by the Press earn it a place as one of the world s major private presses The books are an enduring testament to the Benedictine aim of employing human talents to the glory of God. (David Butcher, The Stanbrook Abbey Press, 1956-1990 (Lower Marston: Whittington Press, 1992), p. 31.).
