Monotype Ornament Broadsheet No. 5. Type Flowers in the Twentieth Century

Beskrivning

Monotype, Salsford, no date. (late 50s). Single broadsheet printed in yellow and black. (57 x 44 cm). The series of five broadsheets with ornaments from five centuries published by Monotype are widely admired. Designed by Sarah Clutton.
The type flowers of both past and present have been put to new uses in the twentieth century. A much richer use of colour and the use of border units to build up all-over patterns are typical developments.
