Alphabets from the very appropriately titled work, A Set of Alphabets (New York, ca. 1870) by Frederick Copely, intended to be used by architects, designers, sign painters, engravers, etc.

Schillings were importers of continental types in the late
19th century. The business was sold to German bank clerk Otto Soldan, and continued trading in London until the 1960s when it was taken over by Harris Intertype.

Do you want to see all 189 specimens from Berlin-based type-manufacturing companies (part of a larger collection of type specimens) that the Deutsches Technikmuseum digitized last year and put online yesterday? I would, if I were you. They live here: berlin.museum-digital.de/col… – at Krefeld, Deutschland
