Girault, Jules · 1870 · Paris : Chez l'Auteur · 38 pictures

A French album of script alphabets and interlaced monograms compiled by J. Girault and published in Paris in 1870 for lettering and ornament practitioners. The four plates show rows of flourished copperplate capitals above a central interlaced monogram, each plate in a different layout, with fine engraved linework throughout. A designer could draw on the swash capitals for display lettering and on the dense central ciphers for logo and crest construction.
