Bilderbogen-Alphabet

Pocci, Franz <Graf von> · 1855 · 1 picture

A Munich alphabet sheet of 1855 by Count Franz von Pocci, printed as a Bilderbogen for children and households, presenting each capital letter as a decorated initial with a small figure or scene. The pictures show ornate Gothic-style letterforms filled with grotesque creatures, knights, animals and acanthus-like scrollwork, offering a designer dense, historicist initial patterns that could be adapted for ornamental capitals, borders, or monogram layouts.
