Font ID Request for Blavatsky's 'The Theosophist' Journal Cover from 1879

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

I'm wanting to identify the font on the cover of this 1879 journal by Madame Blavatsky called 'The Theosophist'. Would love to know the name of font and a link to purchase a license if possible. Otherwise, a similar font may suffice if you have any recommendations. Specifically am looking for a font in the realm of ESOTERICA or SUPERNATURAL, something with some style to it and not too stock/generic looking.

The font in question is circled in green with the number 1 next to it. Secondarily, also would love an ID of the font circled with number 2 next to it. This is lower priority though and not as necessary as number 1.

Here is a link to the source image: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-the-theosophist-cover-of-the-first-number-of-madame-blavatskys-house-105317528.html

Thanks in advance for any help!

Sorry, that entire piece is hand-lettered. No fonts involved. 

Bummer. Any similar fonts that you know of? Something in the realm of esoterica or supernatural, with some style to it?
