#Vignettes lettres chiffres monogrammes et rehauts modernes

[uwmspeccoll]

Typography Tuesday

Last week, I showed you some initials I encountered at the Milwaukee Public Library's first Art Book Club gathering in October. Those initials were from an 1898 specimen book, Schriften Atlas, compiled by Ludwig Petzendorfer. This week I'm showing some alphabet sets from another collection I encountered there. These specimens are from Vignettes, lettres, chiffres, monogrammes et rehauts modernes, published in Paris by Les Éditions Guérinet, R. Panzani, successeur in 1931. The specimen book includes alphabets by several designers. The sets shown here are by A. Bardi and P. Picaud, whom I have not been able to identify. Still, the letter forms are quite enjoyable.

The next Art Book Club session at MPL will be on Saturday, December 16, 2023, 1:30-3 pm, with the theme of "Technology."
