If you are in need of a vintage and extremely rare guide to typeface, fonts, border designs, vignette designs and more. This is just the book for you. This is the 1857 edition of Specimens, Printing Types, Plain and Ornamental, Borders, Cuts, Rules, Dashes, Etc. from the Foundry of L. Johnson & Co. Established 1796.
This is a BEAUTIFUL publication with everything you'll ever need in a printing guide of the 1850's
The book is nearly 200 pages and covers everything from punctuation to stock certificate vignettes.
To say this is rare is an understatement and because of the great condition it's still in after 170 years, this is pretty much a bargain.
