I'm trying to recreate the cover of the first cookbook published by an African American.

There's a PDF of the contents, that have been OCR scanned. However, the cover has an ornate border, and decorative rules, which I've rebuilt as vector art. I can get close to the typefaces, but they're not quite right. 

It was published in 1866, by T.O. Ward, in Paw Paw, Michigan. 

The title is in ITC/Monotype Modern Display, but "DOMESTIC" has some obvious differences. The closest I could find was Engraver's Roman, but the serifs are elongated, and the tips more blunted. 

"FOR THE KITCHEN" is similar, but there is very little change in weight between the crossbars and vertical strokes. It almost seems slab-serif.

The last mystery may be a keystone. Perhaps a display face of one of these.

The only known copy resides at the University of Michigan, in the William L. Clements Library. I intend to give my final work away to them. I'm not doing this for any gain, I just think it should exist.

Thanks for your help!

P.S. - I wish What the Font had a checkbox for ✓This is an ugly scan. 

Here's a blog post about this publication, which has more information (not typographic), and a link to the full PDF copy:

Typefaces of this era often had very generic names. It may take some time to trace the original sources to an American foundry type specimen of the era.

In the meantime, Archive Lightface seems to be a digital revival of the face used for DOMESTIC (source is likely Roman Extended Lightface, available in metal and wood type in the 19th century).

Another revival by the same foundry is very similar for FOR THE KITCHEN: Archive Antique Extended, thought it differs from your source in that it has serifs on the crossbars of the Es. King Tut, a revival of Egyptian Expanded, is a bit closer (no serif on the E crossbar).

MRS. MALINDA RUSSELL could be replicated with Normande/Fette Antiqua.

I saw Archive Lightface, but that speaks to my comment about wanting What the Font (MyFonts) to have a checkbox telling the algorithm "it's a crappy scan", and that I'm not looking for distressed type. I wouldn't have taken the time to make the ornaments super-crispy! I appreciate the reference to Roman Extended Lightface. I've got an Adobe license, so I'll probably use that and squish it a little. 

Archive Antique Extended, truly is slab serif, but again distressed. The stokes in King Tut are too nuanced, but I'm digging CanadaType.com, so thanks for that resource!

Fette Antiqua is a good enough match. I hate to mix so many typefaces on the same page, but in the end only people like us are going to notice. Since it's only a few line of text, I'll probably just tweak a few serifs. 

That really leaves just FOR THE KITCHEN. Do you know what Archive Antique Extended is based on?
