Victorian Display Type

A reader named Andrew found this odd one in a community college library. On a somewhat related note, I found this collection of (non-Victiorian) woodtype on Grain Edit. There are some pretty interesting ampersands in there if you poke around.

Jon sent this photo he found on Shorpy. There are a few really nice ampersands hidden away in this image—which is too huge to post and too detailed to shrink down. The caption on shorpy: Boston, Massachusetts, circa 1900. “Old Corner Bookstore, first brick building in Boston.” Detroit Publishing Company 8×10 glass negative.
