Depression Press has uploaded a Flickr photoset of scans from a type book called Examples of Modern Alphabets: Ornamental and Plain and the contents are truly outstanding. The book contains about 50 pages of hand-drawn typefaces and lettering, all intracately designed and painstakingly detailed.

The book was published in 1864 which explains the look of the majority of the characters inside. Definitely something to bookmark for inspiration later.
