Specimens of borders and ornaments, cuts, and brass rules, and illustrated catalogue and price list of printing material and printers' supplies
A 1903 type specimen and price catalogue issued by the American Type Founders Company, a commercial foundry selling borders, ornaments, cuts, brass rules and printers' supplies to printing trade customers. The pictures show type cabinets with sorting drawers, a lead and slug case, and a page of poultry illustrations set as printers' cuts. A designer might take from them the tidy modular organisation of type storage and the stock-cut style of small animal engravings used as decorative filler.
