First published in 1901, this is a rich repository of typefaces
(including English, Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Arabic, Hebrew and
Cyrillic), ornaments, borders and various decorative devices used
in books printed at the University Press, Cambridge, until 1900.
Highlights of the compilation include a wide range of historical
typefaces (including Caslon, Marr, Figgins, Blake, and Miller and
Richards), stylish borders, corners and head and tail pieces,
university and college shields, and a detailed catalogue of
Egyptian hieroglyphs. It also contains sections on accented letters
and signs, 'poster founts' and ornately styled initial letters.
Prefaced with a brief 'Historical Sketch' by J. W. Clark, a noted
Cambridge academic and antiquarian, Specimens is a valuable archive
of the craft of lettering and design before the advent of the
digital age that will delight bibliophiles, typographers and
collectors.
