3 Haarlem, Netherlands
Founded in 1703, Izzak Enschedé established a printing house specializing printed materials
such as bank notes among other projects. This visit featured an amazing museum housing
a vast archive of original matrices, punches, moulds and everyday correspondences.
Was able to observe blinding 2-point metal type. Also, unique story on the Enschedés'
early interest in the daguerreotype, a large scale commercial photographic process was shared.
Happy owner of No 1056: Typefoundries in the Netherlands, from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century :
a history based mainly on material in the collection of Joh. Enschede en Zonen
at Haarlem / by Charles Enschede ; an English translation with revisions and
notes by Harry Carter, with the assistance of Netty Hoeflake; edited by Lotte Hellinga
