In the early 1980s, the National Museum of American History acquired the Morgan family’s remarkable collection of 19th century type and brought it together with several related collections already at the Museum. Then they put up an exhibition of these collections. This is the modest brochure published to commemorate the acquisition, the collection, and the exhibition.
