Promotional bookmarks, designed by William Addison Dwiggins for Gordon-Taylor Printers Inc of Cambridge, MA. From a collection of Dwiggins material held at St Bride Library.

Tokyo’s Tsukiji type foundry’s 1897 specimen contains a surprisingly large number of western faces, including a rather splendid set of 2-colour ‘Japonica’ fancy initials. Other, single-colour examples appear in the same specimen book.
