The work is composed of the following sections: vignetes, ornate letters, pen flourishes, swashed and shaded cartouches, filets, rulings, music types, and finally the Specimen-Album itself: examples of trade cards, bill and letterheads, certificates, etc., all printed using the decorative materials and motifs in the preceeding samples. "One of the most beautiful works ever issued from the French, or, indeed any other press" (Bigmore & Wyman, Bibliography of Printing, p. 163).

The precision of casting and fitting together of the ornaments when combined with incredible press work and register of the colors, silver and gold is truly impressive" (Burke, Typographia 520).
