Specimens of the job room types, Government printing office.
This is a specimen book issued by the United States Government Printing Office in Washington in 1891, showing type faces and printing ornaments for the government's own job printing work. The pictures are plain black-and-white plates of seals, eagles, crests, and ornamental rules, with the seals as dense, detailed engravings a designer could borrow for emblem or certificate work, and the rules as ornamental dividers in tapering, dotted, and notched forms.
