The practice of typography; a treatise on the processes of typemaking, the point system, the names, sizes, styles and prices of plain printing types
A 1902 New York typography treatise by Theodore Low De Vinne, published by Century and aimed at printers and type designers, covering typemaking, the point system, and type names, sizes, styles and prices. The single picture is a close crop of running text beside a blackletter display line in a bordered panel, showing how a historic Spanish-language type specimen might be set. A designer might take from it the contrast between heavy ornamental blackletter capitals and the plain text setting around them.
