A catalogued archive of historical letterpress type ornaments and printer's flowers — the decorative botanical and geometric elements typesetters used to fill pages before photography. Heikki Lotvonen has photographed and documented them from original sources, making a searchable visual library of something most people have seen but never noticed as a distinct art form. The documentation is meticulous and the specimens are genuinely beautiful.
