here we have a nice early 1930s type specimen catalogue by the bern-based printers büchler & co.
while the wrapper shows their buildings from outside ...
the endpapers give us impressions of the busy work going on inside.
the catalogue shows off all the different kind of printing techniques the company offers.
a company history with more photos ...
... is followed by a bibliography of favourable press coverage.
finally the type specimens, ...
... from erbar grotesk ...
... and again matter, among othersto display typefaces and ornaments.
the tree in the company logo obviously refers to the beech tree the name "büchler" derives from.
