Electrotype Reproductions 1890 - 1891

James Henry Moser's "Electrotype Reproductions" (1890-1891) is a pen and ink drawing depicting a man standing on a pedestal, leaning on a staff, beside an oversized capital "E." The artwork is likely an illustration or design for a book or other printed material, as the inscription at the bottom reads "Letter to be 3/4 inch long." The detailed, fine lines of Moser's drawing are reminiscent of the graphic arts of the late 19th century.
