“… designed in 1901 by Morris Benton and another person identified by ATF only as Cowan, but has also been ascribed to Joseph W. Phinney. […] Engravers Old English Open was produced by ATF in 1902. Sidney Gaunt designed Engravers Old Black, very similar to Engravers Old English, for BB&S in 1910, but BB&S later produced Engravers English, a copy of Engravers Old English. It has also been copied by Intertype, and by Ludlow as Old English. Hansen’s Lafayette Text was very similar. [McGrew 1993] The Bold arrived in 1910 [American Bulletin, Jun 1910].
There are digital versions from Monotype and Bitstream. Latter includes the bold weight. See also the lighter Wedding Text.
