8th Century. Vatican. Alphabet

Part of a wonderful collection of historical lettering collected to be used by architectural and engineering draughtsmen, masons, decorative painters, lithographers, engravers, carvers, and anyone else looking for decorative lettering.

This set of letters of the alphabet would also make a great start for embroiderers looking for ideas for samplers.
