Hello, this one is for the historians! The Beatrix Potter books have a very distinctive typeface, which was designed by the publisher in 2002 (https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/peter-rabbit-the-tale-of-the-tale) and was based a type which graced the book covers in about 1902. That new type is of course proprietary. Here is an example of the new font:

But here is the original type below. What is it? Where do we look for it?

And the other burning question: isn't the actual type used in that old book... below.... William Morris's Golden Type?
