A printed specimen of Caslon old style type, with appropriate ornaments
A 1921 New York type specimen printed by Redfield-Kendrick-Odell for printers and designers, showing Caslon old style typefaces with matching ornaments. The first picture is a decorative initial A framed by foliage and a flower basket, the second a row of border strips in simple repeating patterns, and the third an oval engraved portrait of William Caslon above a plinth label. A designer could take ready-made border strips and a framed initial letter as period ornament models.
