[Indianapolis, IN]: 2001. Original Wrappers. Near Fine binding. Item #9960

Octavo. [2], 145, [1] pp. Facsimile. As issued, with printed wrappers. Nearly fine.

A remarkably good facsimile of an early foundry specimen book. At the time of its reproduction, only four copies were known to exist. The original is a remarkable artifact for a foundry that only operated for 6 years. The quantity of fonts, decorations, embellishments, etc. is incredible. Even this facsimile is strangely rare. Only the American Antiquarian Society reports ownership according to OCLC.
