The Ludlow System of Slugline Composition
The Ludlow System of Slugline Composition is a 1927 typographic manual by Douglas McMurtrie, Director of Typography and Design at The Lakeside Press in Chicago, published by Ludlow Typograph Company for printers and typesetters. Its pictures are the title page and a plain half-title page, both set in a restrained typographic style; a designer might take the ornamental woodcut-style border frame and the italic display lettering as period references for classic book title layouts.
