One of the extra features of the book is a fold-out sheet showing all the ornaments listed in the Press's Fell Typographic Designs - the principal catalogue of the ornaments that Horace Hart had at his disposal at the beginning of the twentieth century. As I have been going along printing the ornaments in the listing, I have put one of each aside, taped to my charts, ready to construct a replica of the Synopsis that appeared in Fell Typographic Designs.

I'm close to a full set here, and the time is near to set that replica.
