Specimens of electrotype cuts, issued by Barnhart Bros. & Spindler
A specimen book issued around 1900 by the Chicago type foundry Barnhart Brothers & Spindler, showing electrotype cuts they offered to printers and advertisers. Its pictures are wood-engraved livestock and poultry subjects (a pair of hens or fowl, a draft horse, a black cow) drawn in dense hatching and cross-hatching on cream paper, useful to a designer looking for vintage agricultural engraving styles and tonal shading.
