Description | Drawings and sketches of fonts of the Norman and pre-Norman period, with some separate detailed drawings of carvings and a few cuttings of printed illustrations.
Two alphabetically-organised place name indexes to the illustrations are found at the front of the volume. These indexes do not appear to overlap: one is headed '12th century fonts - circular - and earlier'; the other is headed '2nd index Norman Fonts'.
Listings of and notes about fonts, compiled by Richardson, can be found in his second series of volumes, Volumes N - S (see MS115/2/13-19). Richardson has annotated his listings to indicate where illustrations can be found in this volume and his other volumes of drawings and sketches relating to fonts, Volumes 1, 3-6 (see MS115/1/1, 3-6) |
