1794, A Specimen of Printing Types,

Fry and Steele, London

Although the Prince of Wales receives
the dedication on the title page, all the
attention here goes to the limitless possi¬
bilities of the table of "metal space-lines"
from which a typesetter could choose.

Die Titelseite mag eine Widmung an
den Prinzen von Wales zieren, die Haupt-
aufmerksamkeit gilt jedoch den uner¬
schöpflichen Kombinationsmöglich¬
keiten der „Metallenen Abstandlinien",
die dem Schriftsetzer in Tabellenform
vorgestellt wurden.

Bien que la dédicace aille au Prince de
Galles sur la page de titre, on remarque
surtout ici les multiples possibilités,
laissées au choix du compositeur, de la
table des « espaces ».
