Das Gwerbe Monogramm - Martin Gerlach - 1881

From the same author and artist that is responsible for Allegories und Embleme comes this gargantuan 110 page monster of a monogram book. Not only does this German Goliath have every letter combination possible in at least 3 different styles, it also includes full words and names as monograms as well, which is unique to this book in my collection. There are also a bunch of heraldic ornaments and a handful of alphabets towards the rear, this is an excellent, must have reference book if you're developing any sort of Victorian era monogram.
