88 [TYPE SPECIMEN – SCHELTER & GIESECKE.] Muster-Sammlung von J. G. Schelter & Giesecke Schriftgiesserei, Messinglinienfabrik und Galvanoplastic, Fachtischlerei und Utensilienfabrik, Maschinenfabrik, Leipzig. Handausgabe. [Together with:] Preis- und Lieferliste. Leipzig, J. G. Schelter & Giesecke, 1886. £1,200 Tall 8vo, pp. [viii], colour lithograph frontispiece, half title, title and dedication, [iv], 359, [iv], xii, 28; with numerous woodcut illustrations in the text, with 9 chromolithographic section titles, and numerous additional leaves bound in; Preisliste, pp. [iv], lx (with 3 inserted leaves) and one folding double page table (Preisskala Stereotypengiesserei), printed in red and black, and two inserted slips; occasional light dustsoiling, but overall in very good clean condition; title with small stamp; original publishers’ decorated blue cloth, with title in gilt to sides and spine, within elaborate floral decoration; price list with paper spine; with bookplate of the Scandinavian Agent of the firm, G. Carlsson & Co. Extensive type specimen of the German typefoundery Schelter & Giesecke, in fact the second large type specimen issued by the firm. The work is illustrated with full-page chromolithographs, black and white reproductions of hundreds of printing fonts, vignettes, emblems, decorative borders etc. In a separate final section printing utensils and machinery are offered. Also included is the extensive price list, which is often lacking. The firm of Schelter and Giesecke was founded 1819 in Leipzig by the punchcutter Johann G. Schelter (1775–1841) and the typefounder Christian F. Giesecke (1785–1851). The firm expanded under their successors and type specimens were published in 1836 and 1849. This 1886 type specimen is far more comprehensive and shows the wide range of type and ornament on offer at the time. Rather appealingly this copy belonged to the Scandinavian representative of the firm. In 1946 Schelter & Giesecke was nationalised by the East German government and combined with various other type founderies to form Typoart, which still exists today.
