The Waldorf family ; or, Grandfather's lagends
A children's fairy-tale collection by Emma C. Embury, published in New York in 1848 by Riker. The four pictures are ornamental decorated initial letters, each a large engraved capital with foliage, flowers, and small creatures wound around it. A designer could take from them the dense, hand-cut engraved ornament of mid-nineteenth-century American printing, useful for monograms, drop caps, and border motifs.
