Business card (4⅝″×2½″) by Hills & Winship, manufacturers of “bench and moulding planes of every description”. A quick dig finds that this partnership likely began in 1832, the assumed date that this business card was created. The 18pt Caslon Italian line at the top has especially crisp edges all around, clearly from metal type, perhaps brand new type.
