  "textContent": "> In March 1953, eight oak boxes containing over 3,000 individual typographic punches, were presented to the University of Cambridge by the French typefoundry Deberny & Peignot. These were the surviving punches used to make the type of the Birmingham printer John Baskerville (1707-75). The punches belong to Cambridge University Press & Assessment and are housed at the University Library alongside its extensive collections of both printed and archival material, as well as objects of typographical interest.",
