Content
Onnes, De Boer & Coers was a type foundry in Arnhem which had taken over the firm of Oomkens, van Bakkenes and Damsté in Groningen in 1857. None of the three new owners had any experience with type founding and they initially continued to embroider on the type specimens of their predecessors.
