It demonstrates how the same styles were used in different situations and in different materials and how vernacular craftsmen were sometimes influenced by 'professional' - writing masters, type designers and architects. Fortunately the tradition continues despite other outside influences which have injured and could destroy it. If by acting as a source book and inspiration this volume helps to arrest or prevent such destruction, it will have served its primary purpose. ". See Images. ; 4to 11" - 12" tall ; 180 pages.
