| Résumé anglais |
Writer and historian of typography, Jérôme Peignot was born in 1926 in an environment of “letters of lead” making him an heir of Balzac (as a printer) who liked to present himself as a “man of letters of lead”. Son of Charles Peignot who managed the famous font maker Deberny-Peignot, Jérôme Peignot has witnessed the changes in the printing industry from the disappearance of lead and helio to the use of light. For the last twenty years he has advocated for the jeopardised Imprimerie nationale to be safeguarded while the governments passed and no long term satisfactory answer was given to protect and develop this jewel of the world heritage of arts and letters. We paid him a visit in the Yonne with André Belleguie in the summer of 2013. He trusted us with a handwritten testimony which is published as a tribute to Gérard Blanchard.
