(2) The lines bounding the text would naturally be faint, or grooved (p. [343]); but, ruled from head to foot of the page, they would be sufficiently apparent to add materially to the general effect of orderly arrangement. (Lines are printed here to show clearly the way the two columns are ruled and to suggest this effect, though the process block necessarily gives a false impression in making them appear too short and too heavy).
(3) Extra width between the columns (and also in the margin) may be allowed for the coloured capitals (compare fig. [92]).
(4) Words in simple written capitals are used to mark slight divisions, or changes of sense, in the text.
(5) A stiff Versal of a rather “Roman” type is used, partly because of the number of the capitals (see p. [126]).
(6) Other Colour Schemes.—The larger capitals might be in burnished gold, the rest in red (or in red, blue, and green); or all might be in red, blue, and green. [p137]
STANZAS OR VERSES MARKED BY VERSALS
Fig. [94] represents a poem in two verses which are distinguished by interspaces and by coloured capitals—a brief introductory line also being in colour. (It is supposed that the poem occurs in a book—mainly in prose—written in Roman small-letters.)
