The latest type fashions [microform]
A type foundry's 1899 specimen book, published in Toronto by the Toronto Type Foundry Company for printers and compositors, showing typefaces alongside decorative printers' ornaments and dingbats. The pictures include a band of repeated fleuron-style ornament borders, a page of Kate Greenaway-style children figures set as cuts, and a sample typeset page with a large decorated initial T, so a designer could draw on Victorian ornament repeats, flourished initials and quaint period figure illustration.
