Description: Emerson Wulling printed for pleasure for over nintey years. He received a masters degree in printing history from Harvard in 1928, and a Ph. D. from the University of Minnesota in 1938, the same year he married Jean Laurier Crocker. They settled in a modest home near the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, where they raised three children. The quintessential hobby printer, he maintained his shop in several locations over the years, producing a variety of books, pamphlets, and ephemera. An English professor and lover of books, his printing, with much of the text written by himself, consistently displays a lively sense of humor and a clever literary wit.
