Augusta Vol. 5, ca. 1914

Volume Quinto, Caratteri di Legno

Fonderia Caratteri Augusta, Torino, n.d.

[3] + 99 + VII + [2]

 

Type specimen book of Augusta, which used to be the name of the merged foundries of Nebiolo and Urania. Great oversized specimen book of wooden poster type, some pages printed in two colours. Not dated. Pages are printed recto only. The last seven pages are showing Greek type, which is quite rarely to be seen as poster type.

Carlo Favale, 1872

Commoretti, 1895

Augusta, ca. 1909

Cisalpina, ca. 1914
