Hi, I would like to share a list of ebooks which I have been putting together in a PDF with working links.Īlso some ebooks on Letterpress, Woodtypes, Typography Ornaments,Īlphabets, Lettering, Typography Design, Sign Painting, Penmanship, Art Nouveau Design etc.ġ798: A Specimen of Printing Types by William Caslon.ġ812: Specimen Types Foundry of Binney & Ronaldson, Philadelphia.ġ828: George Bruces & Co. Per Nicolette Gray, this one originated as Caslon Black No. Koeiekat: Face 3 on page 16: Nick Curtis made a font based on this in 2004. The one on has more surface ornamentation than the one on (Font Mesa Black Pearl). They were shown in the 1867 specimen book, and three of them were patented by Andrew Little in 1867-1869. The Farmer TF issued at least six or seven faces (including condensed variations) with the same letterforms tradenamed Rimmed Black (designer unknown). Koeiekat: Face 2 on page 12 has been digitized – without the small ornaments inside the letters – and named Black Pearl by Michael Hagemann. Along with a shaded variation, they were super-popular and still shown by ATF until 1899-1900. An ornamented derivative was patented by Herman Ilenburg/Ihlenburg in April of the same year. Ruthven of MSJ in February 1869 and first shown as Antique Pointed. Koeiekat: Face 1 on page 5 has been digitized – sort of – and named Anticca in 2003 by Peter Bruhn.īroadgauge was patented by Edwin C.

I am now updating them to include your input. Many thanks for participating in this project, KK! ‘Fraid I was too self-centered in the bookmark comments and skipped some fonts that I have already collected.

If you recognize any of the anonymous ones, please share this info with the chapel!.

If you see a face that interests you, ask for a high-resolution specimen.

Revival status and known tradenames are stated in the bookmarks for each page.

A “quick ‘n’ dirty” scan produced a PDF for previewing them. They are not captioned, and some are not yet identified. This recent discovery (thanks to THP Partner Brian Bonislawsky) is packed with 20 pages of super-rare specimens.

Type & Design Devices, edited by Ron Yablon (The Ron Yablon Graphic Archives, 1970). THP has converted it to a PDF for your viewing enjoyment.
