Description
Printed in France, this type specimen was one of five issued by Continental Type-founders, founded in 1925 by Grolier Club member Melbert B. Cary, Jr. (1892–1941) to import and sell foreign typefaces. The foil-backed covers, indigo, peach, and yellow cellulose sheets, and black and yellow printing give this specimen a striking appearance. Celebrated Art Deco poster artist A. M. Cassandre (1901–1968) designed the lively, geometric Bifur type featured here in 1928.
