WOOD-ENGRAVED INITIALS FROM MILLER & RICHARD
Displayed here are some wood-engraved historiated and ornamental initials from the Edinburgh type foundry Miller & Richard. The foundry was established by William Miller in 1809. His son-in-law Walter Richard joined the firm in 1832. It remained in continuous operation until 1952 when matrices for a few types were acquired by Stephenson, Blake & Co.
The specimens shown here are from a Miller & Richard type sample book published in Edinburgh in the late 1870s.
