Member Pat… Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Dear Typologists, I am trying to date the type on this pedestal. I want it to be 1830 or even earlier 18th century. Any suggestions? Thank you! Link to comment
Member Kev… Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The type on the pedestal is hand-painted; no way to date it based solely on the letter forms.... Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Agreed. That letterform style has been in use since the 18th century, but it can’t be narrowed enough this way. I’m afraid you have to find other clues to date this than the letterforms. Link to comment
