A German pattern book of decorative initial letters and alphabets, published in Leipzig around 1880 by R. Bauer, aimed at engravers, printers and craftsmen needing ready-made lettering. The plates show ornamental capitals with curls and flourishes, from medieval blackletter-style Mönchsschrift to modern scrolled initials, plus lowercase and blackletter sets a designer could adapt for headers, monograms or title pages.
