内容简介

Devised by artists and designers of the 19th century as a charming and effective way of combining words and pictures in order to advertise goods and services of the day, the "mortised cut" is an engraved illustration with one or more open areas in which type can be accommodated. This book features 551 mortised cuts, painstakingly selected from authentic 19th-century engravers' catalogs, periodicals, and type specimen books.
