T. J. Cobden-Sanderson

Bookbinder and printer

English book artist who founded the Doves Press and threw its type into the Thames.

Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson left the law for bookbinding after a conversation with Jane Morris and coined the term Arts and Crafts.

With Emery Walker he founded the Doves Press in 1900; after a dispute he sank the entire stock of type in the Thames in 1916–1917.
