London The Monotype Corporation Limited nd

An envelope containing four editions of the Type-Specimen Pamphlet "Twenty-One Classic Type Faces" published by The Monotype Corporation Limited London to aid the comparison of type behaviour. No date c 1959. Edition A [Letterpress on Antiques Papers], Edition B [Letterpress on Coated Paper] C [Augmented reprint by Photo-Offset] and Edition D [Ditto, by Rotary Photogravure]. Each version of the pamphlet has 8pp printed in red and black. Brown envelope with card title page, this slightly dusty. This initially was attached to the flap of the envelope but the glue has perished. Lovely item. Great for showing the impact in terms of type behaviour dependent on the selection of the paper type and print method.
