Dealer Notes

A very early specimen book from this firm of printers. All references we can find apply to their premises in Melbourne Street, which were occupied well into the 20th century. We have been unable to locate any other specimen book issued by the Howe Brothers. Extremely rare.
Not on JISC, OCLC or St. Bride catalogue.
