Scarce in commerce in these early editions.** John Mauritz Bergling (1866-1933) was a Swedish-born American lettering artist. He created thousands of letter styles, signets, monograms, ciphers, and other designs, but he was not a typographer, as one would imagine. Instead, he was a jewelry engraver who worked for some of the leading jewelry companies of his time, hand-etching on the surface of each piece. From the earliest years of his career, Bergling saved his design sketches and letterform drawings, and in 1908 he published his first book, Art Monograms and Lettering. Bergling's hope was that his little book, with more than 300 illustrations, would help other etchers, engravers, and artisans at their craft.** "Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight.
