Here’s a quick post that was created just so we can share this totally awesome vintage 1920′s photograph we stumbled across online that shows the Publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, and his wife, Blanche.

Ashbel Green, vice president and senior editor at Alfred A. Knopf, passed away on Tuesday, September 18th, in Westerly, R.I. Mr. Green was both a Friend and colleague of Chip Kidd. He was 84.

Chip Kidd, respectfully, wanted to share this statement:

“I would like to recognize the death of Ash Green, a beloved colleague at Knopf and one of the best editors in publishing history. I will miss him terribly, as will we all at Alfred A. Knopf. Ash, you were one of the greats, it was an honor to know and work with you. C”
