Summary
| Description |
English: The Fry type foundry's copies of first Baskerville (above) and then Caslon (below), shown in a specimen attached to an edition of The Printer's Grammar, 1787. The image illustrates the limits of Baskerville's type's popularity, since they apparently felt the need to copy Caslon's type also, although the book is set in Baskerville-style type. |
