French Antique (Caslon)
(Sample unavailable)

A “French Antique” that was not as narrow as Page’s Page’s wood type. Date unknown.

A similar but wider French Antique appears in the 1872 catalog of printer Frederick Ullmer. It’s not clear if this is the basis of the Caslon face. See also the American French Antique.
