Description

British printing historian Harry Carter called the Proef van letteren “a classic in typographical literature because of its notes on the provenance of the older founts, shown in the book although they were of purely historical interest.” At the end of the work is an engraving by Cornelis van Noorde (1731–1795) showing workers at the Enschedé foundry in the middle of the eighteenth century.
