Fancy Letter C

Vintage drawing of a fancy letter C. These letter images were used to introduce chapters and are often called drop caps. This letter C image includes the letter C surrounded by ivy vines.

I found this letter image in a children’s text which also used 6 other similarly decorated letters – A, D, M, N, T, and W. Use them alone or in combination on your next creative project.

These letter images date back to 1880 when Toby Tyler was first published. It was written by James Otis.
