Beaumont, S., author · 1895 · [Mantes?] : [publisher not identified] · 18 pictures

Le découpage en typographie is an 1895 French manual by S. Beaumont, published at Mantes or thereabouts, explaining how printers cut and combine letterforms and blocks for display type. Its pictures are printed specimens of cut-out and assembled letters, such as stacked decorative E's, a bevelled block, and ornate French accented words, showing how a designer can build lettering from fragments and mix weights, angles and accents.
