Description
This tidy little mid-19th century face is attributed by McGrew to the London typefounder Robert Besley (designation or name unknown). It was subsequently cast in America as the Bruce Foundry’s Ornamented No. 1032 and having been electrodeposited in mid-20th century by Chas. Broad, enjoyed popularity as an antique revival called Cicero. These are the matrices from which this casting was done.
