Type Specimens introduces readers to the history of typography and printing through a chronological visual tour of the books, posters, and ephemera designed to sell fonts to printers, publishers, and eventually graphic designers. This richly illustrated book guides design educators, advanced design students, design practitioners, and type aficionados through four centuries of visual and trade history, equipping them to contextualize the aesthetics and production of type in a way that is practical, engaging, and relevant to their practice. Fully illustrated throughout with 200 color images of type specimens and related ephemera, the book illuminates the broader history of typography and printing, showing how letterforms and their technologies have evolved over time, inspiring and guiding designers of today.

A collection of printed specimens issued by The Banyan Press, a publisher and printer established by Claude Fredericks and Milton Saul, collected for an exhibition at New York University held in 1985. The Banyan Press was a private press noted for its use of distinctive fonts and fine paper and its publishing of contemporary poets in special editions. The specimens collected here include publication announcements, letterhead, envelopes, cards, forms, and slips in various sizes, colors, and paper types. One folder contains the notes and correspondence that furnish a background on the exhibition at NYU, including articles, drafts, and a bibliography of books published by The Banyan Press.
