In days gone by, many publishers had a collection of drop cap letter images they used to start each chapter of the books they printed. Quite a few publishers used the same block-like drop cap images but this set includes a bit of fancy scrollwork to make the letters a bit taller and more interesting.
Use this drop cap I image alone, or with any of the other letter images we found in this set which so far includes: A, C, D, G, H, 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.
