Specimen book from the Boston type foundry ...containing also a complete price list of printing material.
A Boston type foundry specimen and price list from 1889, published in Boston for printers and print shops buying type and printing material. The pictures are black-and-white catalogue engravings of printing machinery, decorative initial letters, and ornamental borders with a plain, factual layout. A designer might take the flourished initial capitals and rule-and-dot border patterns as period ornament for vintage typographic work.
