Add to basketItem description from seller
A very attractive book of composition and display faces with ornaments. Printed in black and green (rectos only) and stud-bound in a gilt-titled card folder. A fine copy. No definite date can be ascribed to this but the six pages of Monotype Glint Ornaments cannot be earlier than 1956 and Will Carter's Klang typeface (Series 593) is 1955. Unusual typefaces for a provincial printer are Paladin (Stempel 1922) listed as being from Stephenson Blake, also Gillies Gothic (Bauer 1935), amongst others.
