| Abstract | The American Type Founders Company (ATF) was formed out of a business necessity. Led by John Marder of the Chicago Type Foundry and Arthur Brower of the Union Type Foundry, several other type founders created a combined company of twenty-three plants scattered across the United States, which was incorporated by November 1892. According to Annenberg, this edition was prepared for the London branch. This copy of the catalog, which does not contain any kind of London imprint, includes only type metal, cuts, ornaments, and rule. |
