Specimens of printing types cast
A type specimen book issued in New York in 1848 by George Bruce's Son and Company, a type foundry, to show printers and buyers the typefaces it cast. The pictures show ornamental borders and rule patterns, a panel of double small pica ornaments, and large display lettering in ten-line pica comic and shaded styles, useful to a designer studying nineteenth-century American type and decorative edging.
