Chalmers, John, 1825-1899 · 1911 · Shanghai : Kelly & Walsh, Ltd. · 2 pictures

John Chalmers, M.A., LL.D., produced this 1911 second edition of a Chinese character study published by Kelly & Walsh in Shanghai, aimed at scholars and students of the Chinese script. The pictures are dense printed tables of Chinese characters arranged under numbered radical headings with small stroke counts, offering a designer a grid of compact, systematic glyph layouts useful for modular typographic arrangements.
