Between 1890 and 1897, Spemann’s publishing house was merged into Union Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft, a company he had founded together with Adolf Kröner (1836–1911).\n\nThe shown letter was sent in January 1894 to one of the family journal’s advertisers, the “Duc” Cycle Co. in Herzogenbusch, that is ’s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands. “Duc” was a brand by B.A. Jansen who imported bicycles manufactured by the Quinton Cycle Co. in Coventry, England. Pasted in the bottom left corner is a sample of the ad that was to be included in Vom Fels zum Meer.\n\nThe text block at the top right features five different blackletter typefaces. The title is set in **Renaissance-Fraktur** , with the subtitle added in a version of **Original-Gotisch**. “Monats-Ausgabe” uses a German adaptation of Tudor Black, possibly **Psalter-Gotisch** by Krebs. Last but not least, we get to see Flinsch’s **Halbfette Schwabacher** and Albert Anklam’s **Neue Schwabacher**.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source:  www.flickr.com **Uploaded to Flickr by altpapiersammler.
