Eleventh book of specimens of printing types and every requisite for typographical uses and adornment.
A specimen book of printing types and typographic ornaments issued in 1878 by the Philadelphia type foundry MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan, aimed at printers and job compositors. The first picture is a page of eagle ornaments drawn in engraved line, many perched on striped shields with olive branches, while the second shows a bold condensed slab-style display face set in capitals with numerals, useful for designers studying nineteenth-century American wood and metal type and decorative emblems.
