New acquisition! A type specimen book from New York type foundry George Bruce's Son & Co., 1869. George Bruce (1781–1866) was a Scottish American printer and type founder. He and his older brother started off as type founders and printers in 1812 but jettisoned their printing business in 1816 to concentrate on founding type. His typefaces became widely popular among printers by the 1830s, and his company remained predominant for a generation. His son David Wolfe Bruce (1824–1895) took over the business after his father's death, and ran it until his retirement in 1890. The firm was eventually acquired, like so many other foundries, by American Type Founders.

KEYSTONE INTIALS AND CUTS

The Keystone Type Foundry was established in Philadelphia in 1888 and operated independently until 1917 when it became one of the many foundries absorbed by American Type Founders. These cast and electrotyped initials and cuts are from the foundry's Catalogue and Specimen Book Keystone Products Consisting of Type, Material Furniture Complete Line of Miscellaneous Supplies for Printers and Publishers published in Philadelphia in 1910. All the initials and cuts shown here were designed by Keystone's own staff except for the Meridale and Lotus Initials which were licensed to Keystone.

This catalogue was copy No. 5351 and according to its bookplate was the property of Keystone and was only lent out, not sold or given, to a printer/publisher, and was expected to be returned "intact and in good condition, reasonable wear expected." Someone clearly did not follow those instructions, as several specimens have been cut from the catalogue's pages as can be seen in the Caslon Bold Page Ornaments.
