With all the new clients, need for speed etc, personal and individual attention to basicc forms like Type are getting mostly neglected at the altar of 'photoshop' etc. I was looking at some early poster art and the detail to typography is immensely beautiful. Extremely functional and very good expert control!
Some early poster advertising:
Letterpress with wood engraving, 1849
Letterpress with wood engraving, 1853
Letterpress with wood engraving, ca. 1855
Letterpress with wood engraving, 1858
Some early poster advertising and Typography
