News article from 1947 about Julius Nelson – a typewriter artist who wrote several books on the subject. An interesting interview where he gives good advice on typewriter art – or artyping as he liked to call it. He organized a competition every year, and received thousands of entries.
He also worked with “typewriter mystery games”. They were basic instructions such as “type Q four times, press return” which resulted in an image. There is an example in the article. It seems that he wrote books about typing well into the 1980s.

Fisches Nachtgesang by Christian Morgenstern. Published in Galgenlieder, 1905.

– Michael Cantor, 2012
