ABOUT

Jaro Springer

Jaro Springer (1856-1915) of the International Chalcographical Society authored the specimen book Gothic Alphabets (1897, printed by the Reichsdruckerei, Berlin), which was also published the same year in German as Gothische Alphabete. This book showcases three ancient anthropomorphic alphabets: a pen-drawn figurine alphabet from ca. 1400 consisting of cowled figures and fabulous beasts and dragons; a figurine alphabet from 1464 engraved on wood in the Netherlands by Master of the Banderoles; and an architectonic alphabet engraved on copper.
