Free Vintage Ephemera; Typography

I love old papers and books and sometimes come across unusual pieces like this one. This is from a book dated 1890, and is part of a full set of typography samples or letter sets. I’m actually not sure of the purpose, as the cover is damaged, but I love the pages.

Here is a closer look, but don’t try to right click and save, it is not a high resolution image. Instead, grab the free PDF file below.

The original vintage typography ephemera sheet is a worn shade of grey, so I updated it a bit, I also made a version with the colors reversed. You can use this in junk journals, as backgrounds or for tags and cards.
