Sans Souci Press began as a reactionary underground printing house in Potsdam, Germany, in the late nineteenth century. Named for the Sanssouci Palace, the press produced pamphlets decrying the supposed liberalism of Wilhelm II's reign, and particularly his ties to the English.
The Press is not to be confused with the later Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts firm of the same name.
Famous quotes containing the words sans and/or press:
“My trust,
Like a good parent, did beget of him
A falsehood in its contrary, as great
As my trust was; which had indeed no limit,
A confidence sans bound.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Character wants room; must not be crowded on by persons, nor be judged from glimpses got in the press of affairs, or on few occasions. It needs perspective, as a great building.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
