Tea-Chest, a stencil type : specimen brochure issued by Stephenson Blake, Sheffield, c1950 - specimen advert
Rober Harling, the noted designer, produced Tea-Chest for Stephenson Blake in 1939 but this brochure seems to date from c1950 and indeed states that ‘stencilled letter-forms have had no place in the spate of type designs which in recent years, has descended with such fury upon the unsuspecting printer and typographer.’ This is, I suspect, a mock advert for Harper's Bazaar, although the illustration by "GW" is rather fine in its own right.
