I'd create an analytic for the type page itself, as realia. "Type specimens" are understood to be printed specimen sheets, so much so that the tracing alone would not bring this to the attention of anyone actually searching for a page-worth of set type. A title and notes sprinkled with keyword bait, yea verily, a bucket of keyword chum--that's your best bet. You can still include a "specimens" heading of some sort--it is that, but of a very special kind.

Hello everyone

The Clark Library purchased a book that includes a page of the set-up type. I'd like to trace this block of type since we have another book that also contains type (it might be helpful for scholars looking at modern composition). In fact, we have a number of type collections that should probably be traced.

How would I trace it? "Type specimens" in rbgenr?

Any alternative suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks!
