Clip Books of Line Art, Volk (1969) Photo(s) by Bart Solenthaler. Imported from Flickr on Dec 17, 2019. Artwork published in 1969. Source: www.flickr.com Uploaded to Flickr by Bart Solenthaler and tagged with “davisonbolero”. License: All Rights Reserved. “Old Fashioned” (No. 186), featuring a modified version of Othello or similar for the headline. It’s distinguished by notches in the counters, descending stems, and tiny serifs (like Rubens or Hess Neobold). [Edit: It’s Davison Bolero, see comments.] Like the pictured locomotive, Othello was old-fashioned at the time of this booklet’s publication: Originally designed by Gustave F. Schroeder in the late 1800s, it was revived by Morris Fuller Benton for American Typefounders (ATF) in 1934. Covers for various clip books of line art published in 1969 by Harry Volk Jr. Art Studio, Pleasantville, New Jersey. See the previous post about the clip books issued in 1955 for more information on Harry Volk Jr. Art Studio. Source: www.flickr.com Uploaded to Flickr by Bart Solenthaler and tagged with “eurostile”.

The depiction of an astronaut in front of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle is accompanied by the futuristic Eurostile Bold Extended, Aldo Novarese’s extension of Microgramma, originally designed by Alessandro Butti for Nebiolo in the 1950s. As in “Old Fashioned”, the bottom lines use Alternate Gothic Compressed and Helvetica. Source: www.flickr.com Uploaded to Flickr by Bart Solenthaler and tagged with “kochantiqua”.
