20 pkt Barnum from Bauer & Co, shown in use in a small letterhead for Engelsk Beklædnings Magasin, advertising English menswear, lingerie, and hats. The store on Ringkjøbing’s Nygade was still in operation in the 1960s.

It was printed by A. Rasmussens Bogtrykkeri sometime in the 1910s. In fact this is not just an identical fount of Barnum used for this little print – this little print is set and printed from the exact same types now in my collection, when they was a part of the type collection at A. Rasmussen. The fount is together with its sisters on 36 & 60 pkt pin marked Bauer & Co Stuttgart. In 1897 the foundry was purchased by H. Berthold, Berlin, which continued to run the Bauer foundry as a branch.

Other typefaces include a Latin Antique – a style known in Germany as Breite Etienne – and one not further identified style (or two?) from the Romana genre, in roman and italic.

Remember that it is always possible to book a workshop if you are interested in playing with my rich collection of historical types and ornaments.
