Bowne & Co., Stationers, is part of the famous South Street Seaport Museum in New York, New York.

Located in the old printing district next to Manhattan's financial center, Bowne & Co., Stationers, is a replica of a local print shop in 1875. As well as a museum with artifacts and a working demonstration of the printing process, it is also an active job printing shop - kept busy with producing printed ephemera, wedding invitations, custom stationery, and the occasional book.

Robert Warner, the present curator and manager of Bowne & Co. Stationers, is a celebrated and widely collected artist who works in letterpress printing, boxbinding, assemblage, and collage.

Carpe Libris is proud to offer for sale books from two of their most recent ambitious printing projects.
