S. H. Colesworthy, Jr., Dealer in Books, Stationery, and Wall Papers, Portland, Maine

Samuel H. Colesworthy, Jr. (1845-1921) and his family were longtime booksellers located at 92 Exchange Street in Portland, Maine. The datestone on the building at that address still says, "Colesworthy, 1829-1889" (and the round object affixed to the wall below the stone is a cannonball!).

Colesworthy's business card is blank on the other side and likely dates to the late nineteenth century.

Typefaces: Erratick ("S. H. Colesworthy, Jr.," "Blank Books, Pocket Cutlery, Plush Goods, &c."); Latin Antique ("Books, Stationery," "92 Exchange St., Portland, ME."); Souvenir ("Wall Papers"); Outing ("Dealer In," "And"); Gothic No. 122 (possibly used for "Established 1829").

Thanks to Florian Hardwig for identifying these typefaces on Fonts in Use.
