I-1 Cheltenham

This 119 year old initial letter is from an alphabet called Cheltenham. It was used by the Mergenthaler Linotype Company when printing on the Linotype machine. The Linotype machine revolutionized the printing industry until the 1970’s when changing technologies made it obsolete.

Each letter is beautifully presented in a solid wood gold frame and a generous 6 ply mat with a hand-painted gold beveled edge. There is a hook for wall hanging or an optional brass easel stand for desk and tabletop display. Attached to the back is a story card describing the history behind the letter.
