“On this site we present typographical material of different countries - most of it from the Netherlands for the period 1470-1800 and France 16th century printers.
Pictures are made in close cooperation with Special Collections, Amsterdam, also with the Royal Library, The Hague and the Archive at Alkmaar. This project was made possible with the help of the Huizinga Instituut, University of Amsterdam and the A D & L foundation, Amsterdam. The collection of photos is ‘work in progress’ of the chair for the History of the Book at the University of Amsterdam. We hope to extend it well into 20.000 photos of initials, ornaments and type in 2010.”
