was an American authority on printing, paper, and papermaking—especially by
hand, using the tools and craft of four centuries prior. Hunter produced two
hundred copies of his book Old Papermaking, preparing every aspect of the book
himself: he wrote the text, designed and cast the type, did the typesetting,
handmade the paper, and printed and bound the book. A display at the Smithsonian
Institution that appeared with his work read, " In the entire history of
printing, these are the first books to have been made in their entirety by the
labors of one man" (Paper Making)
