New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
one of the perks of working where i do is that behind me sits a lady who is responsible for maintaining a music library for the salvos.
when she gets multiple copies of songs and other materials, she often needs to throw them out because of space... well... when i found this out i asked her if it would be possible to pass them along to me. so i'm often getting beautiful old music books and others odd pieces of paper.
here is a couple of things i recently acquired, and i think they are beautiful.
first the front of a page titled 'Famous Cornet Solos'
does anybody know what the sans used could be?
second is from the back of that page - it looks like a beautiful piece of penmanship, but i'm unsure.
thanks for listening

ITC Blair or Sackers Gothic would be pretty close to the sans.

For the hand drawn blackletter you might like Fountain's Deuzhood.

thanks stephen! i remember seeing deuzhood a while ago, but had forgotten about it!
one thing that contactantly amazes me is people who are able to draw letters that look awesome, without a computer.
i suck at it. in fact i suck even with a computer! heehee
i know this sample is not the best blackletter drawing around, but considering it was just on the back of a contents page fron a music book, it seems pretty lavish.
