Printing types, their history, forms, and use is a 1923 typography and printing history by Daniel Berkeley Updike, published by Harvard University Press and Oxford University Press for students and printers. Its pictures are printer's ornament borders and rule patterns: rows of leaves, crowns, shields, scrolls, and knotted bands, many showing how a single motif repeats along a strip. A designer could take from them ready-made repeat units for frames, dividers, and decorative edges.
