This pioneer work is an annotated catalogue, illustrated with specimens of the types made during the sixteenth century in the area now covered by the Netherlands and Belgium. The influence of the sixteenth-century typecutters was considerable; in fact, many of their type faces, described in this book, were to be found in English printing offices of those days and even much later.
