Apparently unrecorded typographic specimen book published a small private regional printer in Přerov, Czechoslovakia (near Olomouc). The printed circular addressed to customers is among the most charming specimens of font marketing we have encountered, promising "an abundant supply of the most modern fonts with beautiful cuts" and "admirable typesetting machines and printing presses [which] will amaze you." Among the included types are several Linotype fonts, as well as Menhart Antiqua, Tages, Groteska, Orfeus, Baskerville, Watteau, Narcis, Neuland, and Koralle, among others, including several very large specimens and one poster font specimen.
