"The printing firm of W. Drugulin of Leipzig issued in 1868 a specimen of their types which shows the Old Dutch face under the title 'Renaissance--Holländisch.' In 1919 the firm sold the matrices to the David Stempel Foundry in Frankfurt, where they were erroneously renamed 'Janson.' These are the types which in the 12 point size, are before the reader"--P. 3.
