William
Joseph
“Dard”
Hunter
(1883-1966)
was
born
in
Steubenville
,
Ohio
,
where
his
father
ran
a
newspaper
business
. At an
early
age
the
young
Dard
(a
family
nickname)
learned
about
automatic
type-setting
machines
at his
father's
business
and
about
the
mechanics
of the
modern
paper
mill
across
the
street
from his
home
. The
elder
Hunter
,
who
was an
advocate
of
hand
crafts
, was an
amateur
woodcarver
and for a
few
years
ran
a
pottery
business
with
two
partners
. In
1900
the
family
moved
to
Chillicothe
,
Ohio
, to
run
another
newspaper
business
.
Dard
was its
staff
artist
.
Four
years
later
Dard
moved
to
East
Aurora
,
New
York
, to
join
the
Roycrofters
, a
community
of
craft
workers
and
artists
founded
in
1885
by
Elbert
Hubbard
. The
Roycrofters
were a
branch
of the
Arts
and
Crafts
movement
in the
United
States
.
Hunter
created
designs
for
books
,
leather
,
glass
, and
metal
, and he also
tried
his
hand
at
pottery
,
jewelry
, and
furniture
. He
founded
a
correspondence
school
, the
Dard
Hunter
School
of
Handicrafts
. In
1910
he
moved
to
Vienna
,
where
he
took
courses
in
lithography
,
book
decoration
, and
letter
design
.
Afterward
he
settled
in
London
,
where
he
developed
a
fascination
for
papermaking
. In
1912
Hunter
and his
wife
,
Edith
,
moved
to
Marlborough
,
New
York
,
where
he
designed
and
built
a
water-powered
paper
mill
and
designed
a
distinctive
typeface
that
bears
his
same
. In
1919
Hunter
and his
family
returned
to
Chillicothe
,
where
he
worked
and
lived
for the
rest
of this
life
. He
founded
Mountain
House
Press
, a
letterpress
printing
studio
where
he
wrote
and
published
20
books
on
papermaking
.
