John Frederick Herbert Peters (1917-1989) was a typographic designer who worked at the Cambridge University Press 1950-1964.
Almost all these papers come from Peters's years at Cambridge University Press, with just a few examples of his earlier work for the Arts Council (1946-1949) and of his other activities including printing at the Vine Press, typeface design for the Monotype Corporation, letter-cutting, and calligraphy.
