Arthur Baker, broad edge lowercase alphabet with flourished ascenders, original calligraphy, 1982.

Baker was a prolific calligrapher, type designer, and author of many books for Dover. This is one of many original works in our collection thanks to a donation from Ed Baker after his brother’s death in December 2016.
