Seller's description:

"Delraye was cut by Figgins in 1843 and copied later by foundries in the United States by the then-new process of electrotyping. It had the generic name 'Backslope Ray Shaded' until John S. Carroll recut it in 1965, adding one or two new characters."*

Will be shipped in via USPS in a small flat rate box.

NOTE: Harvested from the private collection of Dave Churchman, APA 308. You may have seen this font in the chaotic background of the letterpress documentary, "Pressing On".

Thanks!
