Französische Elzevir (20, 24 and 32pt sizes)
According to G.W. Ovink, Genzsch & Heyse in Hamburg acquired matrices of “‘Romain Ancien’, cut by the Aubert frères and by Huchot” for Deberny in Paris. Genzsch & Heyse expanded that typeface in-house, too, cutting matching fonts in the 14, 20, 24 and 32pt sizes. Seen here in E.J. Genzsch’s 1902 catalog.
