Founts & Circumstance
[Individual Broadsheets]

A typographical portfolio of display and titling faces in grand isolation & in company

July 2002

Founts & Circumstance was sold out on publication, and we now have only a few copies of one broadsheet left for sale – Henry King’s “A Contemplation upon Flowers”. Since this was hand-coloured, we printed a good number of extras against error, but CE’s hand proved steadier than we imagined! The sheet is shown below with a thumbnail illustration which can be enlarged by clicking on it. The broadsheet measures 15 by 22 1/4 inches. Please note that we are offering it at a special reduced price.

You can look at illustrations of the complete set in the Archives page, which also shows past publications of the press, now out of print.

Please Note: British, American, European, and Asian clients will be charged at the prevailing currency exchange rate at the time of invoicing.
