A Presentation of Amanda : a new script type for advertising from : Stephenson, Blake & Co. Ltd. : Sheffield : c.1939 : The London Spectacle by Feliks Topolski
The Sheffield, Yorkshire, based typefoundry of Stephenson, Blake issued this 'presentation' or brochure for the Amanda script typeface family in 1939. Designed at Wagner & Schmidt of Leipzig the typeface was one of many contemporary script style as Stephenson, Blake noted in the introduction. The specimens show the seven sizes it was available in alongside examples in various settings.
I'm personally very fond of the work of Feliks Topolski (1907 - 1989) the Polish born artist who settled in Britain in 1936 and soon became a noted chronicler of British and overseas life. He was an Official War Artist to both the British and Polish Government in Exile during WW2.
