Scope and Contents

The collection is composed primarily of 20th-century ephemeral type specimens from Europe and America. Many are notable for their colorful design and creative sample text, and some are styled in the manner of faux publications (e.g. “The Baskerville Banner,” which is presented as a newspaper broadside).
