contents: The storage rooms at N.V. Lettergieterij 'Amsterdam', voorheen N. Tetterode contained type of all sorts: classic designs such as the Garmond, the Bodoni, the Nobel, the Egmont, and also the internationally successful Cheltenham which appeared in 1906. There were, of course, also the New Javanese of 1908-1909 and the Hollandsche Mediaeval of 1912, both by S.H. de Roos. The last typeface in particular became very popular and was to be used for decades.
