Fundiciòn Richard Gans

Fundicion Tipografica Richard Gans was a type foundry in business from 1888-1975. Founder, Richard Gans was the son of a doctor from Karlsbad, Austria who emigrated to Spain in 1874 where he founded the business in 1888. After his death in 1925 the foundry was led by Mauricio Wiesenthal until 1936. In the 1920s and 30s, Gans types were sold in the United States by Continental Type Founders Association.

Richard Gans' children, Ricardo, Manuel and Amalia Gans Gimeno took over operations in 1936, but Ricardo and Manuel were assassinated in the Civil War only a few months later. During the war the foundry was used to make ammunition. Amalia Gans rebuilt the business after the war, and remained in charge until the business closed in 1975.

Type Design

Before 1925, the foundry cast almost no original types, taking designs from German foundries, principally those of the Woellmer Type Foundry and Edmund Koch. Later types were designed by a number of people from within and outside the foundry including Jose Ausejo Matute, Antonio Bilbao, the founder's son Ricardo Gans, and Carlos Winkow.

Muriel (given name)

Muriel /ˈmjʊəriəl/ is a feminine given name in the English language.

Etymology

The name is derived from a Celtic language name composed of word elements meaning "sea" and "bright". Forms of Muriel are found in the Breton, Irish, and Scottish Gaelic languages. In the form Merial, the name was very common in mediaeval England. Muriel was mainly used in Scotland at first, although the name became popular outside the country in the early 20th century.

A Scottish Gaelic form of the name is Muireall; and Irish form of the name is Muirgheal.

Popularity

The name's modern usage in the English speaking world dates from the mid-19th century being initiated or augmented by its appearance in Dinah Craik's 1856 novel John Halifax, Gentleman in which the title character's daughter is named Muriel; born in 1802 Muriel is said to be named "after the rather peculiar name of John's mother."

Usage of Muriel peaked in the early 1920s and has subsequently declined.

Muriel’s name means “God’s perfume.” Her angelic responsibility includes tending the animals and the plants of earth. She is often depicted with a crown of flowers which she lovingly places in the river of life. When she is around, you may smell the subtle scent of your favorite flower. Muriel brings messages of peace and harmony, reminding us that every selfless good deed is rewarded exponentially. Muriel’s huge heart will teach you how to love unconditionally. As you invite Muriel into your life, you become aware of your intuition. If you suddenly find yourself thinking about helping the homeless, follow through. Muriel teaches us that helping others is the path to true happiness. If you really want your life to change, volunteer at a homeless shelter, pull a few weeds from a local park, hang a birdfeeder or become a dog walker at an animal shelter. Reach out to someone else and see what happens to your life. You might just meet your future love or find the job of your dreams as a result of your willing service. At the same time, Muriel teaches to act with an open heart, without expectation of personal gain. Then and only then will your blessings come back to you multiplied. Invocation: Holding a bouquet of your favorite flowers, face south and softly call Muriel. Repeat her name until you feel her loving presence. Then ask her for her guidance, love and assistance. Don’t be surprised if you are asked to help someone else. Committing random acts of kindness and honoring beauty are the perfect ways to change your life in a profound manner.
