About This Item
Five plano sheets (each 27 x 35 cm). Delt, J.C. Perk, n.d. (circa 1856). With horizontal folds in the centre, some fraying in the margins.
Five extremely rare plano-printed type specimens from the printing establishment J.C. Perk in Delft, the Netherlands. Jacobus Clemens Perk (1818 - 1868) was an entrepreneur. In 1850 he founded the Archimedes insurance company (this is mentioned along with his printing-studio on one of the sheets). He also founded the newspaper 'Delflandsche Courant' (later continued as 'Delftsche courant'. The present sheets are the only witnesses of the fact hat he owned a printing business for a time. Sheets 2, 3 & 4 are classic sheets with the names of each type above a short text in Latin; sheets 8 & 10 use short text in Dutch as examples without stating the names of the types. As to the date: Sheet 8 shows a date '1856' and sheet 10 mentions the Archimedes Insurance Company that was founded by Perk in 1850. There is no address on the any of the sheet, just the name of the town, Delft.
