Title page to a price list for the Egyptian Screen & Fret Company from 1889. The company was active for only a few years, based out of New York City with a factory at 164 W 27th St and salesroom at 341 Broadway. They manufactured ornate geometric woodwork, including screens and magazine racks.
The company name is set in caps from Campanile. Above, “Frets, Grills and Screens” is in Bijou, with caps that appear to be custom, or possibly from a different typeface. The wide roman used for “Price List” and the addresses is Old Style Extended. The typefaces used for the smaller bits are yet unidentified.
