Muster-Alphabete : verschiedener Schriftarten in den neuesten Formen
Muster-Alphabete is an 1880 German pattern-alphabet book published in Leipzig by R. Bauer, drawn from the Getty Research Institute's holdings and aimed at sign painters, engravers and printers choosing letter styles. Its plates show alphabets in blackletter and gothic forms, including modern gothic initials, English church script, and Allgothic capitals with decorative flourishes. A designer can draw on the dense scrollwork, pointed serifs and ornamented capitals as models for historical display lettering and monogram work.
