Typo: A Monthly Newspaper and Literary Review, Volume 2

[Our title page]

Our title-page, issued with this number, is printed in the same colors as the title to vol. i, but with a different border. In its design and scheme of color, we have followed the principles of harmony and contrast laid down in our article on p. 15 of our first volume. The nine lines of plain roman harmonize—ornamental letters would be out of place, detracting from the effect of the border: and the two lines of black supply the contrast. In the arrangement of colors, the three qualities of blue—blue, blue-black, and blue-grey—harmonize, and the red—in very moderate quantity—comes in by way of contrast, besides emphasising the main line. The fine head-piece is by Flinsch; the handsome shell by Bruce; the vignette is our own. The interior border at the corners is by Poppelbaum; the « Pompeiian » mosaic groundwork by Brendler & Harler; the tablet border in the middle of the page by Stephenson & Blake; the exterior borders, corners, and architectural ornaments, by Schelter & Giesecke; the brass-rule, by Berthold; roman and old english lines by four of the English associated foundries.
