Slab-serif type sold by the Caslon foundry in 1841
... that the Caslon Type Foundry made metal type (example pictured) in London for over two hundred years? Source: Neil MacMillan, A-Z of Type Designers, "opened in London's Vine Street probably in 1722 or 1723...remained in existence until 1937", Reed/Johnson (registration required) "in 1730...he had already eclipsed most of his competitors".
Overall: Interesting article and well sourced. New enough, long enough. I'd say good to go. Copyvio unlikelyParadise Chronicle (talk) 23:34, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
@Blythwood: hi there! couple questions about the sourcing:
The type did not become popular.[o] does the ref in the o cite the back half of that passage?
Where are the example pages cited to?
Ditto for the quote that begins Feeling, naturally, regret that the honoured and historical name of "Caslon" should die out...
Sorry about that, we'll get this promoted in a jiffy once this is cleared up. Thanks! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 23:25, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
Promoting to Prep 1, without the image (as there is much competition for the image slot. By my count, out of the 107 verified nominations, around 40 have images. Only 1 of 8 nominations can have image. So, only around 13-14 would be given the image slot) – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:35, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
