<div dir="ltr">After re-reading the original message, I thought my response needed a disclaimer. The <a href="http://rbms.info/vocabularies/introductions/TypeIntro.htm">RBMS type evidence thesaurus introduction</a> indicates that the thesaurus is appropriate for describing types--both the impressions produced from type and the actual type sorts--scope notes of other terms in the thesaurus would suggest that this is inclusive of hand-set moveable type and various mechanical letterpress methods, stereotype plates, and even computer typography, but NOT not to lettering/text produced by other methods such as engraving/intaglio, lithography, calligraphy/manuscript, or typewriter. So for the engraved Strauss title pages, perhaps something from the Getty <a href="http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/aat/">Art and Architecture Thesaurus</a> or the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/tgm/">Thesaurus for Graphic Materials</a> would be more appropriate?<div><br></div><div><div><div><div>Matt</div></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 11:25 AM, Cawelti, Andrea <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cawelti@fas.harvard.edu" target="_blank">cawelti@fas.harvard.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Looks like "Ornate types" is indeed just the ticket, and my grateful thanks to all who helped,<br>

Perhaps Ornate types or Display types, from the Type Evidence thesaurus?<br>
