The Lindsay Type Foundry had its origins as a foundry established by brothers Robert and John Lindsay by 1852. Four years later, another brother, Alexander W. Lindsay, joined the firm, but later separated from the partnership. The original partners operated as Lindsay Type Foundry from approximately 1884-1900. This catalog includes mainly type metal, with a small selection of cuts, ornaments, and rule. It also includes German type. The date of issue for this specimen book is uncertain; the latest date appearing with any of the sample texts of type specimens appears to be 1886. Foliation differs from Annenberg 1891 entry.
