Lettre de Forme used by Pynson, London

From Gordon Duff’s Early English Printing (pl. XXIII / p. 69)

1495

Pynson’s lettres de forme are shown in the large type of his Sulpitius of 1494—a square Netherlandish letter—and in the very handsome lettre de forme which he used with beautiful effect in an Horæ ad Usum Sarum of 1495.
