French Clarendon, 15 line

This type measures 15 line in size and was produced with the end-cut method. The type block does not have a manufacturer’s stamp.

This face was first shown as wood type by William H. Page in James Conner’s Sons Typographic Messenger, Vol.1 No.1 (November, 1865).

French Clarendon was shown in American Wood Type  on page 258. This cut was shown in the folio on page 38.
