Aggiungi al carrelloLeipzig, [ca. 1890] (printed in Stuttgart by Kast & Ehinger). Octavo (25.5 × 18.2 cm). Original blue cloth, blind-ruled and gilt-stamped to front board; [2], 361-376, 376a-376b, 377-382, 382a-382b, 383-394, 394a-394b, 408, 408a-408b, 409-486, 486a-486b, 489-526 pp., [1] folded leaf of plates on translucent tan stock. Title with…added printed label "G. Schildknecht, à Bruxelles, Représentant pour la Belgique." Green errata slip bound before title. Rust to staples; tear to folded plate; else about very good. Extensive, attractively printed type specimen book presenting primarily Antiqua and Fraktur text fonts, display typefaces, cursive cuts, decorative initials, and borders. Among the highlighted fonts are the Renaissance-Kanzlei, Athenienne, Italienne, Etienne, and Grotesk. The latter was an early linear sans-serif font first cut around 1880, which became widely used and served as inspiration for designers at the Bauhaus Dessau. Also included is a section of patterned typographic backgrounds for various private and official documents, such as currency or bonds, which are printed in light red and light blue and also include examples of printed marbling, wooden patterns, and shadow effects. Further featured is a variety of ornaments, frames, and other decorative elements, including playing cards, Gothic wreaths, and large advertising vignettes (many of them printed in color). From the point of view of visual culture and cultural history, of particular interest are various borders and vignettes on mythological and folklore subjects, often printed in color and evidence of a gradual turn toward the Art Nouveau style; as well as prize medallions, military and royal portraits and insignia, samples of wine lables and other advertising uses of typography and vignettes, allegorical vignettes, religious symbols including the stations of the cross, and a very wide array of mixed symbols such as ships, bicycles, furniture, shoes, and more. The type foundry and machine factory of J. G. Schelter and C. F. Giesecke was founded in 1819 and had become an important, internationally active concern by the 1880s. In addition to a variety of fonts, ornaments, and other printing equipment, it produced letterpress, cylinder proof, and other types of presses. It continued to thrive, with major typographers including Jan Tschichold, Arno Drescher, and Heinz Keune creating exclusive fonts for distribution, before being nationalized in 1946 and becoming part of a "state-owned enterprise" (VEB). For an overview of its history and a list of important typefaces, along with some scans, see the article on Luc Devroye's Type Design Information Page. As of October 2025, KVK, OCLC show one holding in Germany and two in North America.
