He who misses this great set of drop cap letter images may be missing out on something unique. This drop cap, fancy letter H image takes a somewhat common block letter and fancies it up with some additional artwork at the top and bottom.
Along with this great fancy letter H image, there are 11 other letter images which include: A, C, D, G, I, J, M, O, P, T and W.
This set of fancy letters were all used in the 1881 book How a Little Boy Learned to Be Wise and Good. It was written by Helen Cross Knight (1814-1906). These images are most likely from the publisher Thomas Nelson and Sons.
This image is copyright free and in the public domain anywhere that extends copyrights 70 years after death or at least 120 years after publication when the original illustrator is unknown.
