Figure 67
Lettres de Forme used by Notary and Barbier, Westminster
From Gordon Duff’s Early English Printing (pl. XIV / p. 60)
1498
The types of the printer Julian Notary, who worked in connection with Barbier and another unknown printer, and produced several books for De Worde, are also of the lettre de forme family. His Sarum Missal shows these fine characters admirably composed; for the French elegance in typesetting exhibits itself very clearly in this book, which was printed about 1498.
