Our Supplement.

We have pleasure in sending out with this issue our first Typefounders' Supplement. Our only regret is that this superb piece of work is printed on so large a sheet as to require cross-folding. Not only is it an admirable type-specimen, but it contains over thirty subjects, each of which, in composition and harmony of color, is a model of typographic design. It exhibits in actual use Messrs Schelter & Giesecke's four latest combinations—71 to 74, as well as their beautiful job-letter, « Kunstler-Grotesk. » As regards borders 73-74, our readers have the advantage of advance specimens, as the Mitteilung containing these designs is not yet issued. Border 71 is an exceedingly rich arabesque, the solid background giving it a strong and massive effect. Border 74 has the triple effect of black, white, and tint, and is relieved from formality by the beautiful figure-pieces it contains. Designs like these are always in good taste and can never go out of fashion.—We have lately had advice of another supplement in preparation for Typo, by a celebrated founder at Offen-bach-on-the-Main, who as yet has no agent here, but is desirous of opening a colonial trade. We shall be glad to exhibit in a similar manner the best productions of English and American houses.—Who will be the next?
