- To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN IHLENBURG, (assignor to MAGKELLAR, SMITHS & J ORDAN,) of the city and county of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented and produced a new and originalDesign foraFontofPrinting-Type, of which the following is a specification.

The nature of my design is clearly shown in the accompanying typographic impression and it consists of a design for a font of print ing-type to be used for ornamental surroundings for printed matter.

The motive is Egyptian, and I will describe the various members of which the font is composed.

No. 3 is a short horizontal line.

No. 4 is a longer horizontal line.

No. 5 is a line inclined to the left, met at its lower termination by a horizontal line extending to the right.

N o. 6 is the reverse of N o. 5.

Nos. 7, 8, and 9 are representations of Egyptian hieroglyphics.

No. 10 is a section of molding ornamented upon its face by the lotus-like ornament and the semi-elliptical curves below.

No. 11 is a representation of a scarabaeus covered with wings; in the center the sun and the asps.

Nos. 17 and 18 are sections which, united, form a capital.

Nos. 19 and 20 are sections of compound molding, the upper portion composed of a light horizontal line, a short distance below which is placed a heavy horizontal line. Below this are two horizontal lines shaded upon the upper portion of face by a heavy line, and below this by a series of short vertical lines; below this a similar molding.

Nos. 21 and 35 are groups of columns, with smaller columns in perspective, the main columns adorned with hieroglyphics.

N o. 22 is an Egyptian column of the seventh order of Egyptian architecture.

Nos. 24 and 25 are sections of aborder. N o. 24 has the inclined lines upon the left ornamented upon the space between them by the central bar, from which extend, upward to the left and downward to the right, the figures formed by the inclined lines, and is also shaded. To the right of this figure extends a series of pointed figures shaded on the face by a series of short vertical lines, gradually shortening as they approach the central points, and bya series of heavy points placed between the pointed figures and succeeded by the heavy dots, as shown; and No. 25 is the reverse of No.24.

Nos. 26, 30, 39, 69, and are representations of the Sphinx.

Nos. 42, 43, and 44 are sections which, united,

formthe base of a column, the face of these sections ornamented by a series of short vertical lines, some at intervals higher (so to speak) than the others, and shaded by the heavy groundwork above and below.

No. 53. Upon each side of acentral line, terminating in a bud-like ornament, are placed the curved lily-like ornaments. The upper extremities of these meet at a central point, above which is placed an ornament formed by two curved lines, the upper extremities of which curve inward, terminating in the dots, as shown.

N0. 54 is a center-piece, the inner central boundary of which is a semi-ring, the outer boundary the two semicircular lines, a light one shading a heavy one, the space between the heavy semicircular line and the semi-ring divided by a series of inclined lines, between which are placed the heavy bud-like ornaments. Beyond the outer semicircular line are placed a bud-like ornament, succeeded by a lily-like ornament, and these are continued at intervals, so that the bud-like ornaments are between the lily-like ornaments.

No.56 is a section of a molding composed of a series of light vertical lines crossed by the heavy horizontal lines at top and bottom, ornamented upon its face, about centrally, by a rhomboidal ornament, from which proceed, upon the right and left, the curved lines, the extremities of which are curved inward, termi nating in the ball terminations.

No. 57 is a section of molding, the base of which is a heavy horizontal line shaded by a light line. Upon the left hand rises a short curved line curving to the right, met at its upper extremity by a short curved line extending to the right and met at its right-hand termination by a curved line extending to the left, rising and curving to the right; at this termination met by ashort horizontal line extending to the right until it meets a short curved line curving to the right, the outline of the portion of the figure just described shaded by a light line following its configuration, and terminating upon the left in the heavy dot, the figure shaded upon its face by a series of light vertical lines, and ornamented near the base by the semicircular lines, one above the other, upon the right of which is placed the curved bud-like ornament.

No. 61 is a corner-piece for a border, formed by two heavy vertical lines shaded by light lines, meeting two heavy horizontal lines shaded by light lines, the space between the two vertical lines shaded by a series of light horizontal lines, and between the horizontal lines by a series of light vertical lines, the face of the figure so formed ornamented by a lily-like ornament in a vertical position, upon each side of the stalk of which are the curved leaf-like ornaments below a ring ornamented by the four squares placed angularly to a central ring, below which outer ring the figure is continued to form the curved leaf-like ornament surmounted by the lily-buds, and is then continued, curving to the right, following the curved leaf-like ornament, followed by a ring, around the center of which are placed transversely the four squares, followed by the curved petal-like ornaments. Upon the left of this ornament, and near the base of the figure, are placed the concentric rings, within which is the heavy star-like figure. Upon the right hand of the corner-piece is placed a representation of the pyramids, palm-trees, and lilies.

No. 62 is a corner-piece for a border, the outline of which may be described as a heavy horizontal line met at its left-hand termination by a heavy vertical line. From its right-hand termination extends upward a short distance a curved line met at its upper termination by a heavy horizontal line extended to the left a certain distance, and connected to a heavy ver tical line by a heavy curved line proceeding from the left-hand termination to the base of the vertical line, this outline shaded by a light line following its configuration, the face of the upper portion of the figure ornamented by a series of light horizontal lines, the lower portion of the figure extending to the right by a series of light vertical lines. Upon the face of the upper portion of the figure are placed the curved petal-like ornaments, between which are suspended the lines, extended about centrally, to form a rhomboid, at the base of which is the ring,the face of which is ornamented by the four squares placed transversely; below this a second ring within an outer ring, within which second ring is a smaller ring having a heavy central dot, around which is placed a heavy star-like figure, the space between the smaller and the next outer line shaded by a series of light inclined lines. Heavy triangular figures are placed near this ring, and to the right of it is placed, horizontally, an ornament similar to that found at the upper part of the figure.
