About Paul Peter Piech A'47: Paul Peter Piech was born in Brooklyn in 1920. He studied at The School of Art at The Cooper Union in New York and the Chelsea School of Art in London. After working in advertising, Piech returned to Chelsea to teach graphic design, also teaching at the London College of Printing and Middlesex Polytechnic. In 1959 Piech set up The Taurus Press at his home in Bushey Heath.

This private press produced books which defied usual printing conventions of setting, spacing and layout, often reflecting Piech's deeply held pacifist views, and were illustrated with his trademark linocuts and woodcuts. Piech died in 1996. Further information on the Taurus Press may be found in Kenneth Hardacre's, 'The private press of Paul Piech', The Penrose annual 1976: the international review of the graphic arts (ed) Stanl ey Greenwood and Clive Goodacre (Northwood Publications, London, 1976).
