(There's also an additional page of equally attractive Arabic and Roman numerals.)

Commercial artists, graphic designers, and craftspeople will find this elegant and versatile treasury of copyright-free decorative letters an excellent and indispensable sourcebook for graphic projects calling for old-fashioned Victorian charm.Republication of the edition published by Day & Son, London, and Ludwig Denicke, Leipzig, 1864.
