Description

EXTREMELY RARE TYPE SAMPLE, PRINTED AS A LARGE BROADSIDE, BY LAURENT AUBANEL IN AVIGNON. 55.1 x 45 cm. With the alphabet (25 letters--the "W" was not yet considered part of the French alphabet) in three columns: majuscule, minuscule, and Italic minuscule. With two lines of additional type at the bottom, perhaps an early example of a chart for checking eyesight! Beautifully printed, with deep indentations of the very large type, on very fine wove paper. Tiny traces of wear to edges of sheet, else FINE AND BRIGHT. A pristine copy of a very rare type sample.
