Specimen Book and Catalogue 1923. Hardcover – January 1, 1923

5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 1 rating
See all formats and editions
Produced in 1923 this type specimen book shows type fonts and sizes for typesetting early in the last century. Wonderful historical perspective on a bygone era and a good quality representation of yesterdays functional work. Typographers would look up type fonts and then specify them to their typesetters for use in ads, books, newspaper articles and such.

Top review from the United States

G. Franklin
5.0 out of 5 stars 1923 Specimen Book and Catalogue
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2006
I am the owner of a 1923 copy of "Specimen Book and Catalogue" printed by the American Type Founders Company of Jersey City, NJ

I've rated it 5 stars due to the historical value of this book and that of an age gone by.

"Sixty thousand copies of this book were printed entirely from type and brass rules in the Specimen and Printing Dept. of the American Type Founders Company."

I will send photos to anyone interested in purchasing this book.
