The Sign Painter & Lettering Artist’s Reference Book of Alphabets & Ornaments is a curated collection of 115 meticulously restored 19th-century lettering sheets, each presenting complete A–Z alphabets alongside ornamental assets. Inside you’ll find Victorian cursives and copperplate-inspired scripts, bold block and Tuscan styles with shadowed caps, slab serifs and outlined display faces, plus decorative initials, monograms, banners, flourishes, and embellishments. It’s both a practical reference to draw from and a ready source of vintage lettering and ornament for signage, branding, posters, and graphic design work.
