VERSALS IN COLUMN OR MARGINAL BANDS

Fig. 93 represents two columns of black text,
consisting of short verses, &c., which are marked
by coloured capitals—forming bands of colour—in
the margins.

Note (i).—The coloured capitals in the figure
are made rather larger than usual, to enforce the
effect of the two lines of red and mark their con¬
trast with the columns of black text. In practice,
however, they would be better and more distinct if
rather smaller.

(2) The lines bounding the text would naturally
be faint, or grooved (p. 307) ; but, ruled from head
to foot of the page, they would be sufficiently appar¬
ent to add materially to the general effect of orderly
arrangement. (Lines are printed here to show clearly
the way the two columns are ruled and to suggest
this effect, though the process block necessarily gives
a false impression in making them appear too short
and too heavy.)

(3) Extra width between the columns (and also in
the margin) may be allowed for the coloured capitals
(compare fig. 92).

(4) Words in simple written capitals are used to
mark .slight divisions, or changes of sense, in the
text.

(5) A stiff Versal of a rather “Roman” type is
used, partly because of the number of the capitals
(see p. 92).

(6) Other Colour Schemes.—The larger capitals
might be in burnished gold, the rest in red (or in
red, blue, and green)-, or all might be in red, blue,
and green.
