About this Item
Folio, coated card sheets, 15 x 12 1/2 inches, painted on Windsor & Newton Bristol Board. ca. 1930. 10 separate pieces. Each sheet is numbered with printer's notes and directions in pencil. An obvious candidate for publication, though we are not sure where this may have landed, in book form, journal or otherwise. it nevertheless represents a high degree of finish, and some of the fonts may be of novel design: 1) complete alphabet, capitals; 2) complete alphabet, lower case, numbers 0-9; 3) "Gothic or Black Letters," two sets of alphabets, a third to the letter "S"; 4)Flourished capitals, complete alphabet; 5) "Decorated Caps, two alphabets, on number series 6) "For Engraving on Metal," one alphabet in caps; 7) interesting cross hatch letters, plus a gothic alphabet, flourish design 8) "Monograms," six separate examples; 9) decorative initials, five letters, with white wash overlays 10) more decorative initials, five examples, with white wash overlays. Very good condition. With an additional smaller piece ("bottom of page 17), with decorative initial "A" and the writing: "A CHAPTER/ heading etc/ abcdefghijlmnopqr." A scarce grouping indeed, in need of some research to determine who did the design and painting, but a wonderful set of original typographic art. Seller Inventory # 6478
