Modern type display;a brochure containing examples of artistic type display ..
A 1900 Chicago type specimen brochure by Ed Ralph, published by the Inland Printer Company, showing artistic display type for printers and typographers. The pictures are examples of display lettering: an ornamental initial with the word Concert, a Moody Memorial fund notice with a decorated capital, a Broadway Theater stock company advertisement in bold caps, and a sinuous Art Nouveau corner flourish that a designer could borrow for headers, drop caps and border ornament.
