Third revised specimen book and price list of printing material

Palmer & Rey, Firm, Type-founders, San Francisco · 1887 · San Francisco · 10 pictures

A specimen book and price list issued in 1887 in San Francisco by the type-founding firm Palmer & Rey, offering printing types, furniture and ornaments to printers. The pictures show a large display letter M, a figure case and imposing stone with table, and a Greek key pica border with its price, so a designer can draw on the period's printer's catalogue style of boxed borders, rules and display capitals.
