Printing types, their history, forms, and use : a study in survivals
Printing types, their history, forms, and use is a 1923 scholarly study by Daniel Berkeley Updike, published in Cambridge, Massachusetts and London, for readers interested in typography and printing history. Its pictures are woodcut and engraved specimens: a decorated initial letter, a framed grotesque woodcut beside a column of italic type, a classical ornamental panel with a central mask, and a printed page with a frontispiece and an ornate title border, useful for designers studying historical letterforms and ornament.
