Civil War Fonts & Clip Art

June 20th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized | 2 Comments »

Look what I found! 70+ Clip Art Images, and 14 fonts (16 count­ing the two ding­bats) all authen­tic from the Civil War era– just in time for the musi­cal! Can we say authen­tic poster/programs?

The Civil War Press Fonts & Clip Art from The Walden Font Com­pany. Pretty sweet.

They have other sets too, includ­ing Rev­o­lu­tion­ary War era, a Roman set, and a Ger­man Script font. Their tag line is “Reviv­ing the Fine Art of the Let­ter Press.” They even have a brief Print­ing in Amer­ica his­tory page. Def­i­nitely sav­ing this for later use.

The Civil War set was $40. A lit­tle much for a project I’m doing for free (since I’m in the show), but it’s a com­plete set of fonts from the 1800’s. I could have used these for Show Boat or Molly– and there will prob­a­bly be other uses for 19th cen­tury type­faces later on. And besides, there might be Reen­ac­tors watch­ing

End.
