Goodhue and Ralph Adams Cram formed the firm Cram,Wentworth, and Goodhue, with fel-
low architect Charles Wentworth in 1891; after the latter’s death, draftsman Frank Ferguson
joined the firm. Goodhue was also a talented book and type designer. In 1896, he created the
Cheltenham typeface for use by a NewYork printer, Cheltenham Press.This typeface came to be
used as the headline type for The New York Times. Cram is well-known for St. Patrick’s
Cathedral in NewYork City.The lot includes a large, folded printed plan of a neo-gothic church
entrance with some hand-coloring, split along the folds, undated, but believed to be a project by
the firm around the same time, though perhaps not for one of the churches in the drawings.
