[Type Specimens]. Dornemann & Co.

Bronzeschriften für die Vergoldepresse. Fraktur . . . [Antiqua, Grotesk, Fantasie, Kursiv, etc.].

(Magdeburg: Dornemann & Co., ca. 1930). Original printed wrappers (8.5 x 7.63 inches), 104 pages, yarn hanger. Includes ornaments. Wrappers a bit worn; in very good condition. Item #21736

An evident export catalog (in German, English, Spanish, and Italian) from longtime Magdeburg brass type foundry, which cast types for use in stamping gilt on book bindings. Without a general title page, but section titles to each general form. See Dan Reynolds on typeoff.de for more on the sand casting of slugs by Dornemann through at least the 1920s. The front wrapper here lettered “Bronzeschriften,” suggesting an issue for the domestic market.
