(featuring Souvenir and Bowl).\n\n> Will you allow me [the] Pleasure of your sweet Acquaintance?\n>  Miss ________\n>  Yours Truly. Please Answer.\n>  Franz W. Olson\n\nThe fairy-tale blackletter is Herman Ihlenburg’s **Bradley** from 1895. “Miss” is set in **Royal Script** , a formal script cut by Gustave F. Schroeder for the Central Type Foundry by 1887. The oldest typeface on this card is the other script used for the sender’s name: it’s **Spencerian Script** , patented by Richard Smith for MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan in 1878. “Yours Truly” and “Please Answer” is hand lettering.\n\n\n\nThis post was originally published at Fonts In Use\n\n* * *",
