Lettervoorbeelden van de textura, fraktur en bastarde 1618

This 1618 work by Hans Strick is a typographic alphabet chart in black ink on paper. It illustrates three different styles of lettering: "Textura," "Fraktur," and "Bastarde." In the early 17th century, these styles were used for writing books and documents, and this print might have been a model or teaching tool for learning these styles. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam currently holds this rare example of 17th century typographic art, which is only 200 mm tall and 301 mm wide.
