Rogers, Bruce (1870–1957), Indiana‐born book designer, was associated with the Riverside Press at Cambridge (1900–1912), where he became distinguished for his work in relating the style of each volume to its subject matter. He was later associated with C.P. Rollins and W.E. Rudge, and gradually changed his style from a clear, simple craftsmanship to a whimsical but skillful use of type ornament.
