The Printer’s Handbook

PRCN.jpg

I have a real soft spot for old printing and type specimen books, so I adore the beautiful scans over at BibliOdyssey of a German printer’s book called Schrift- und Polytypen-Proben (Fonts and examples of different type).

Follow the trail of links and you’ll discover a treasure of type, engravings, and flourishes to inspire your next ornamental illustration project.

    That is absolutely beautiful! What a great (and lucky) find. I wish I could stumble upon something like that. The closest i've come is I once found an old world atlas with lots of great wood carved style drawings in it.
