The roman and italic printing types in the printing house of Theodore L. De Vinne & Co., 12 Lafayette Place
A New York type specimen book from 1891, issued by the De Vinne Press under Theodore Low De Vinne for printers and typographers. Its pictures are decorative initial letters: a black Roman capital W framed in brown scrollwork on tan, a gilt-ground I with red foliage, and a red-outlined T flanked by winged figures in woodcut style, a set useful for designers seeking historical ornamental capitals.
