Hello
We are looking for a similar digital font to this curious face fount in 'XIXth CENTURY ORNAMENTED TYPES AND TITLE PAGES'
As always, any pointers much appreciated!
We have spotted Barcelona already - http://www.linotype.com/91515/itcbarcelona-family.html - not quite the same...
thanks

There is a typeface somewhat like Barcelona called Biltmore that I only know as "Baltane" in digital form. The typeface is shown in the Rookledge Typefinder. (The sample for the Serif Font ID Guide was made with Baltane, which I have).

thanks Mike - this is a good find - still not exact, but I cant imagine we will find a facsimile...
