Manuale Typographicum by Hermann Zapf

Here are a few pages from the late Hermann Zapf's 1954 masterpiece, the first Manuale Typographicum. My copy is the paperback edition by the MIT Press, printed in (West) Germany in 1970.
Let's remember that these plates were originally printed from handset metal type! The compositors would have followed Hermann's layouts, meticulously drawn with pencil and ballpoint pen.
The overlapping in the last two slides was done by overprinting successive plates.
