Rarity in my #specimen collection : the issue 14 (circa 1900 or very close @19cwt ?) of the #Hamilton #woodtype catalog for the french market distributed in France by #Caslon Paris. Some pages are exactly composed like the US issue except for the information text in french. https://www.instagram.com/p/Byb8WfUC987/?igshid=gt4gf2o945az

In the mail today. A nice nineteen century hancut roman #woodtype (31 cicero). Sadly not complete. No manufacturer hallmark.
