“William Page first showed a French Clarendon as wood type in James Conner’s Sons Typographic Messenger, in November, 1865. All manufacturers of wood type produced a range of Clarendons throughout the nineteenth century, with French Clarendon being the dominant style.” [The RRK]

See also the narrower, higher contrast French Clarendon XXX Condensed. Not to be confused with the unbracketed style of French Clarendon in metal.
