Latest and standard faces in type, printers' tools and machinery, John Ryan foundry ...
A Baltimore type foundry's 1894 trade catalogue offering type faces, printers' tools and printing machinery to American printers. The pictures are plain black-and-white engravings of individual machines and tools, including a hand-operated press on a cast-iron stand, a large-wheeled Prouty machine and a Bates typographic numbering machine. A designer might take their clear outline drawings and sturdy Victorian mechanical forms as reference for industrial line art.
