The cover of the below mentioned score. Click for a much larger image. Note the many different fonts, the intricacy of the border (oak leaves) and the outline of the printing machine (best seen in top left corner).
And here is the last page of the music. Again, click for a much larger image. There are several interesting things; the shaping of the bass clef (upside-down compared to now), asterisks and coda circles which I assume, perahaps incorrectly, to be pedal markings (anyone know?), the very unimaginative cadenza, the oboe solo, the lack of bar numbers or any similar markings, the wavy octave line that is now days replaced by a dotted line or single thick line, and the general precision of the note printing method they must have had, despite mass production.
