As it is to be
A lettering-and-ornament book from 1892, published in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by Cora Linn Daniels, a writer on spiritualism, and apparently aimed at readers of that subject. The pictures are decorative initial letters: a bold A on a scrolled shield, a profile head with wings among swirling foliage, a draped woman inside a block E, and an I wreathed in daisies. A designer could draw on these for monogram capitals, scrolled frames and Victorian-style decorative drop caps.
